Singulair is a prescription medication used in the treatment of asthma. Singulair contains montelukast sodium, and is manufactured by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corporation. Singulair is taken orally in tablets, chewable tablets and granules, and is not a substitute for fast-acting asthma inhalers.[1]

Like many prescription medications, Singular can become costly. One way to help ease the cost is to obtain free samples. These free trials of Singulair may be available through a patient's doctor or healthcare provider. In addition, patients can also make use of Singulair patient assistance programs. Singulair also offers a coupon good for $20 on a full prescription.

Singulair Background

Singulair is the brand name for montelukast, a leukotriene inhibitor that helps prevent asthma attacks in adults and children over the age of 12 months. It also helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing or stuffy, runny nasal passages in adults and children as young as six months.[1]

In some cases, serious side effects may occur while a patient is using Singular. Some of these more serious side effects include, but are not limited to the worsening of a patient's asthma symptoms, the development of tremors or shaking, the appearance of a skin rash, hallucination, sleepwalking, nightmares, or mood and behavior changes like anxiety and depression.[4]

How to Get Singulair Samples

Patients can get free Singulair samples through their doctors or health providers. Health professionals can request free Singulair samples from the official Merck website, which can then be distributed to patients in the form of a free trial.[5]

In addition to free samples, patients can also use Singulair coupons. These printable coupons are available through the official Singulair website, and offer patients $20 off their first Singulair prescription. Patients can print the coupon from the official site, and take it along with their prescription to the pharmacy. The $20 voucher can also be used for mail-order prescriptions. Coupons are limited to one per customer.[6]

Another way to get free Singulair is through Singulair patient assistance programs. Merck provides the drug to eligible patients for a full year upon acceptance into their program. To qualify, patients cannot have prescription insurance and income must fall below the stated levels.
