Thank you for your advice dr.Kokil Mathur ,
Can you explain the meaning of "Medication Which Can Be broken into half and used this way to half the dose encounters a line break on the tablet. Usually Singulair does not have sucha line breaks."
Mean that medicine does not have a function?? or something else??
but it has been an alternative choice to avoid cortizone medicine since not been available in my country 5mg dose chewable Tablets. I worry about this situation and I'm doing research to ensure the dosage of 5 mg chewable Tablets.
Thank you!!

Hi!
No, Singulair (montelukast sodium) and zyrtec do not contain cortisone. If your son is prescribed 5 mg of Singulair then try to get that instead of a 10 mg preparation (you can get 4 mg and 5mg chewable tablets—ask the pharmacist or the doctor about these). Usually a medication which can be broken into half and used this way to half the dose has a line break on the tablet. Usually Singulair does not have such line breaks. Instead, ask your son’s doctor whether you can use Singulair 4mg granules. Do discuss this dosing with your son’s doctor. Take care!
