Hi can i have a post please,
my 3 year old had just been put on Montelukast, for breathing issues, and it says not to take with food, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how I can give it to her without food? And has anyone else’s child been on this and it worked?
Thanks

Can you comment on my post please?
She has been given the chewable tablet form
It depends on what form of montelukast they have given to you. My 2 year old had the powder sachets in which I just mixed with yogurt at night time. He was none the wiser. Unfortunately they didn’t work for him, but his chest is now under control. Every child’s different though. Good luck xxx
My son has this. It is absolutely FANTASTIC. We were in hospital on nebs at least twice a month before, but now he hasn’t had to go in for about a year.
Best way that worked for us, is to have a strict routine with foods and give it just before she goes to sleep at night š obviously two hours after food. There has been times where I’ve had to give my son it where he’s had food within the two hours, but it works best on an empty stomach xx
My 2.5 yr old got put on them as a trial for a week. He had the tablet as the hospital pharmacy didnt have the powder. Told him it was a sweety an he was happy untill he bit it. He said it was disgusting. The next 3 dayz i crushed it in a yoghurt and would get no mummy not with sweety in.
Unfortunately he always had te bad side effect of night terrors and tummy pain so we had to stop. Xx
My little boy has the powder form. He either has it poured into his mouth, usually no problems however if for whatever reason he’s not cooperating we mix it with yogurt. The advice I was given is that it has be given with cold purĆ©ed food. From what I have been told by a consultant they literally just treat the chewable
Tablet like a sweet.
If you’re not comfortable with the tablet form ask for the powder. I was offered the tablet but felt my son was too young for them, he’s only 2. They have made a massive difference with my son he’s so much better having this with a combination of inhalers xx
My 2 year old has the sachets too. We give her it just before bed after her inhalers. She thinks it’s a treat and runs to the box to get it. She loves it.
We were told to give it before bed as it works overnight?
She has been miles better and has had less hospital admissions now.
Hope it helps your little one too x
My daughter who is 8 now has been on it since being little and we’ve had no hospital admissions since. She had lots prior to being on it. She has always been on the tablet and liked the taste so never an issue. She takes it at night before brushing her teeth
My 20month old had this they should of given u the crush able ones that can take with food or the sachets, the doc gave me the normal tabs for my Lil one and the pharmacy noticed and change it as she said it was dangerous to crush the normal ones up go bk to the docs xxx
My daughter has these and they work for her. But be very careful they can have awful side effects for some kids. Night terrors, behavior problems, depression etc so just keep a good eye on little one for first few weeks. Xx
my daughter had the powdered ones and just added the to yogurt, but they are stopping the powered form and changing to tablets as ive been informed by the chemist as ive been trying for the past month to get her prescription to finally be told that, luckily the asthma nurse sorted it pretty quickly and we now have the tablets to try
My consultant of my premature baby told me to feed it on yoghurt Hun I trust his judgement literally with my child’s life !!! Will be fine my son is loads better now he’s on it’ x
It worked wonders on my daughter but make sure u brush teeth after not before as it ruined my baby’s teeth š (she had to take it at bedtime) x
My lb has been on them from he was 11months he will be two in July,he’s not fased by it at all literally tilts his head back and let’s me pour the powders into his mouth tiny bits at a time about half an hour before bed xx
i was only ever given the sachets for my son to put in yogurt but it changed the colour and he knew so would never eat it!.. i never knew they did a tablet form!
My three year old has been on it since he was tiny. Now has a chewable tablet at bed time. We’ve had no hospital admissions since he started on it xx
My son (3) has the granuals of it & he just thinks it’s like sweets ha. He thinks its sherbet so he’s happy to take it xx
My 5 year old takes this in powder form – we mix it in with yogurts & ice-creams, I have noticed a big improvement & haven’t been hospitalised since he started taking it x
My daughter 15 and just takes them when she goes to bed..had them for few years now…even reduces snoring x
My son’s on them for severe asthma. He takes them before bed (chewable ones). Don’t do him much good though
My boy takes it in powder form and I just put it into a cup of juice and he drinks it no probs
My 8.5yr old takes it in tablet form. He doesn’t take it with food though, he has it at bedtime with his inhalers x
My son has the chewable tabs he either has them an hour before dinner xx
Its either an hour before food or 2 hrs after xx
Do you have the powder or the chewable tablets? As above mix with a little yoghurt if powder or on its own if tablet form
my friend has the granules and she mixes them in a yoghurt x
