Singulair

Strong Keep. Singulair was first marketed as a preventative asthma medication, and after some time doctors began prescribing it for generic allergy prevention, and is now being marketed as such. Also, some patients have found it to reduce the severity of eczema. Genetic research has also begun to find evidence that all three of these conditions are linked, and oftentimes inherited together. If necessary the article could be changed to the title of montelukast sodium, which is the actual chemical name of Singulair.

I added some information on the drug from notes I took from my doctor's visit and what is on the information packet included with the drug. (I have excercise induced Asthma, and so I take it regularly, to boost the effect of Albuterol)

• Merge and Redirect to the generic name for the drug. That article already mentions Singulair. We don't need two articles on a drug. Vegaswikian 07:54, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Why was this nominated for deletion with a "strong keep" vote? That makes no sense. Probably should have been "speedy kept" as invalid nomination.—Wahoofive (talk) 13:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The Grimripper nominated the article but didn't post anything on this page. Falphin 13:14, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually I think it was nominated by an Anon who didn't post anything here or bother to add the link from VfD to here, I just posted the link from VfD to see it resolved. Grimm 14:20, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd just like to add that I just did a quick web search to find out what Singulair is, and this page was helpful. It certainly could use cleaning up, though.
