Jojo, I tried Singulair for a few months, to see if it would help my IC symptoms. It didn't help, so I quit taking them. I had no side effects. We are all different, so you might still give it a try. It might work for you.

I take Singular during allergy season for me that is June through to October. Singular worked great for my allergies. It did not help at all with my IC symptoms.

Hope that helps,

Sue

I take Singulair daily for my asthma/allergies---it really helps that stuff, but doesn't do anything for the bladder. At least it doesn't make me flare up though

Hope that helps...

You can see my IC story at http://www.ic-network.com/patientstories/jennifer.html -- it's a little out of date these days, but you'll get the idea!

I am a doctor, but I am the Ph.D. kind, not the M.D. kind. Thus, I am not a medical authority nor do I offer definitive medical advice. I can only explain the science behind many medical issues, and in all cases, I strongly encourage you to discuss your medical treatment with your personal medical care provider. Only they can, and should, give medical recommendations to you.

Same as Sarojini (did I get the spelling right? LOVE the cat pic!) - Singulair helps the asthma but doesn't touch the IC.
