Does singulair help slow your heart rate ?

Question

My doc gave me singulair, but im not sure what it does...does it help slow down your heart rate to counteract the inhaler...or shortness of breath?

Answer 1

It's supposed to be preventative medicine, so it's supposed to help you to not get more asthma attacks. I don't know how well it works though my son just went on it.

Answer 2

any medicine put the name in the search on the Internet you can find out anything about it
no effects on heart*

Singulair is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, which is the first medication in this new class of asthma medications designed to stop the airway inflammation associated with asthma before it starts.

For many people with intermittent asthma, viral infections, such as a cold, trigger inflammation and asthma symptoms. In fact, according to the study authors, viral infections may be responsible for up to 85 percent of asthma symptoms and exacerbations.
