The FDA also approved this month Merck's Singulair for the relief of symptoms of hay fever in adults and children as young as 2 years of age.
Unlike antihistamines, Singulair treats seasonal allergies by blocking leukotrienes, substances produced by certain cells in the human body, instead of blocking histamine. Leukotrienes trigger a number of effects that have been connected with symptoms of both asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Singulair is available in tablet form for adults (10 mg) and as a cherry chewable tablet (4 mg or 5 mg) for children ages 2 to 14. Singulair also is approved to help control asthma.
