Singular: reviews, warnings

The medicine "Singular" is a drug created for the treatment of asthma of different origin: bronchial, "aspirin". Tablets are intended for both long-term treatment and for the prevention of bronchospasm caused, for example, by heavy physical exertion. Use the drug also for the prevention of night and daytime asthmatic attacks. Sometimes "Singular" is used to treat seasonal or chronic rhinitis.

Tablets "Singular" are available in two treatment forms.

Chewable tablets as auxiliary substances contain magnesium stearate, microcellulose, red iron oxide dye, cherry flavor and aspartame - artificial sugar substitute. The latter two substances are necessary, but controversial components, which cause some doctors to doubt the advisability of using the "Singular" tablets. The reviews of these experts emphasize: any flavoring or sweetener of artificial origin, especially aspartame, is harmful to health.

The fact is that aspartame contains methanol. Getting into the environment, the temperature of which exceeds 30 ° C (in our body it is higher), methanol is converted to formaldehyde, then formic acid. This poison causes metabolic acidosis - a condition in which blood, losing bicarbonates, becomes acidic. Seeking to get rid of excess acid, the kidneys start to take out more urine, breathing becomes deeper and more frequent. This state is unpleasant in itself. But if the body can not change the pH, a person can fall into a coma.

That's why some of the doctors about chewing tablets "Singular" reviews give very negative.

The second dosage form is ordinary coated tablets. Addition to the main therapeutic substance in them are only magnesium stearate, microcellulose, giprolose, croscarmellose sodium. From the point of view of the majority of physicians, this is the safer form of the "Singular" medication. The doctors' comments emphasize its effectiveness in the treatment of asthma, the relief of seizures.

The main active substance in both tablets is montelukast, a selective blocker of cysteine leukotriene receptors. It is able to prevent or stop asthma attacks that occur in patients on the basis of inhalation LTD4. It provides the therapeutic and preventive action of the medicine "Singular".

Reviews about the medicine of patients and doctors do not always coincide. Some of the patients believe that taking medications should not bring any harm to health, should not cause unpleasant sensations. It is this part of the people taking the medicine that focuses on the fact that during the long administration of the drug there are too many side effects. They noted increased fatigue, severe sleep disorders. And the dreams became unusually bright, sometimes frightening. Often there was a headache, pain in the bones or muscles, sometimes reaching the cramps. In addition, the "Singular" often caused allergic and dyspeptic reactions.

Another part of the patients who took the "Singular", reviews give very different, noting not side effects, but the medicinal abilities of the drug. It is not addictive, it relieves seizures, this group of patients emphasizes.

Does "Singular" help everyone? Patients' opinions are subjective. They once again prove: for every organism the medicine acts differently. There is nothing surprising in this.

However, in order not to spend money on the purchase of a medicine that is not able to help in this case, you need to undergo a medical examination before buying it. Only a doctor is able to determine how expedient the use of the drug is in each individual case. And self-medication, nothing but harm, does not bring.
