Default does your toddler take Singulair chewable tablets? and is there a generic

that is more affordable? Over the counter meds do not work, but this stuff is draining my budget...any suggestions for alternative treatment?I do have insurance, but it still costs almost $60 a month my normal copay is $10, but this costs a lot more for some reason.

Wal-mart has some really good allergy pills. They're cheap.

My child takes Singulair for asthma. There is no generic or over the counter med that will do the same thing. I'm in the same position you are. My insurance co-pay is 15 dollars for generic medications, but it jumps up to 25 for a name brand medication.My only suggestion is to ask your child's doctor for samples, or many of the drug companies offers special drug assistance programs. You can try to go to the drug companies web site and see if the makers of Singulair offer any assistance.You could also try some of the social services offered in your state. If you qualify financially your child might be able to get a state offered insurance.

my son takes Singulair. I have insurance also. Ask your doctor if there is any assistance that he could give you. the receptionist at my doctors office asked if i needed some assistance with this med due to it being so costly. there is a physician drug assistance program that could possibly help.
