Why should I take singular at night for asthma?
Author: On the insert it said if taking singular for allergies then take in the morning. However, if taking the medicine for asthma then take it at night. What’s the difference? If it’s in my system then it’s in my system, right?
The different dosing times have to do with the effects of the medication such as onset, peak, and duration. For most asthmatics their symptoms can be worse at night, or when first waking up. Therefore you want to take the medication when you go to bed so that the medication is at it’s optimum level in your body when your symptoms are peaking. For allergies the symptoms are usually worse in the morning when you are out and about, encountering potential allergens. This is why you would take singular in the morning, to help prevent the allergy symptoms throughout the day when you need the help most.
