asthma, maintenance
"Singulair has been a blessing for my asthma.  However when I was switched to the generic, in October, all of my asthma symptoms came back.  Wheezing, shortness of breath, use of inhaler (which I only used prior to exercise) several times a day.  My doctor has written me a prescription for brand Singulair.  The pharmacy gave me the three pills they had in stock and ordered the rest to come in tomorrow.  I did the same thing a few weeks ago with another pharmacy and their distributor no longer carries the brand.  Hopefully this will not happen again tomorrow and I can go back on the brand Singulair.  Since the problem with the generic I have been on Prednisone, Symbicort and two nasal spray to try and get my asthma under control."
