Montelukast<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>generic for Singulair<\/span>, is a <\/span>prescription drug<\/span> that prevents and treats asthma, prevents exercise-induced bronchospasm, and relieves the symptoms of <\/span>allergic rhinitis<\/span>. <\/span>Montelukast<\/span> is taken as an oral tablet, <\/span>chewable tablet<\/span>, <\/span>oral granules<\/span>, or oral solution. The standard dosage is 10 mg taken once per day. <\/span>Montelukast<\/span> is an expensive drug, and <\/span>Singulair<\/span><\/a> costs even more. That doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t affordable, though. There are many ways to avoid paying the full <\/span>retail price<\/span>. In fact, a 30-<\/span>day supply<\/span> of <\/span>montelukast<\/span> could cost as little as $4 without insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is <\/span>montelukast<\/span> covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

How much does <\/span>montelukast<\/span> cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If a person does not have <\/span>health insurance<\/span>, paying the full <\/span>retail price<\/span> for <\/span>montelukast<\/span> will run about $145 a month. <\/span>Brand-name<\/span> Singulair<\/span> is more: about $289 per month. When you add up the monthly cost, a year\u2019s worth of generic <\/span>montelukast<\/span> treatment will reach about $1,700 and <\/span>Singulair<\/span> will exceed $3,000. That may be hard to manage without a <\/span>health insurance plan<\/span>. However, the out-of-pocket cost with insurance coverage will usually be lower than the retail cost. What each person pays will depend on the <\/span>insurance plan<\/span>\u2019s <\/span>formulary<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>copay<\/span> costs<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>coinsurance<\/span><\/a>. For <\/span>Medicare<\/span> Part D participants, costs will rely on the various <\/span>coverage phases<\/span><\/a> during the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are less expensive options to prevent <\/span>asthma attacks<\/span>. <\/span>Montelukast<\/span> belongs to a class of drugs called <\/span>leukotriene receptor antagonists<\/span><\/a> (LTRAs). These drugs block the action of leukotrienes, inflammatory substances that cause swelling and airway constriction. Both Accolate (<\/span>zafirlukast<\/span><\/a>) and Zyflo (<\/span>zileuton<\/span><\/a>) are LTRAs, but only generic zafirlukast costs less than generic <\/span>montelukast<\/span>. A <\/span>healthcare<\/span> professional can provide <\/span>medical advice<\/span> about less expensive <\/span>prescription medications<\/span>. For instance, <\/span>inhaled corticosteroids<\/span><\/a> are both less expensive and <\/span>more effective<\/span><\/a> than leukotriene inhibitors. Other alternatives for asthma prevention include <\/span>long-acting beta-agonists<\/span><\/a> (LABAs) and <\/span>theophylline<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For people with <\/span>allergic rhinitis<\/span>, <\/span>healthcare providers<\/span> usually do not prescribe <\/span>Singulair<\/span> or <\/span>montelukast<\/span> until all other treatment options have been tried first<\/span><\/a>, including <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span> medications. This is because <\/span>montelukast<\/span> can cause serious neuropsychiatric <\/span>side effects<\/span>, so the risks outweigh the symptoms being treated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:<\/b> Montelukast<\/b> alternatives<\/b><\/a> | <\/span>Should you use <\/b>Singulair<\/b> for allergies?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

OTC<\/span> medications, herbal remedies, and dietary supplements may relieve <\/span>breathing problems<\/span> or other symptoms of mild asthma, <\/span>seasonal allergies<\/span>, and <\/span>hay fever<\/span>, but they should not be used in place of <\/span>prescription medications<\/span> to control moderate to severe asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to get <\/span>montelukast<\/span> without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n

1<\/span>. <\/span>Get a discount with a <\/span>SingleCare<\/span> savings card<\/span><\/h3>\n

The average <\/span>retail price<\/span> for generic <\/span>montelukast<\/span> is $145 for a 30-<\/span>day supply<\/span>. The lowest <\/span>SingleCare<\/span> prescription discount<\/span> price is $4 for that same prescription. Outside of free, that\u2019s likely as cheap as it will get. Start by reviewing <\/span>pharmacy discounts<\/span> on the <\/span>montelukast<\/span> free coupon<\/span> page<\/span><\/a>. Got questions? Look over the <\/span>FAQs<\/span> on <\/span>SingleCare<\/span>\u2019s <\/span>How It Works<\/span><\/a> page.<\/span><\/p>\n

2<\/span>. <\/span>Get a discount by price shopping\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can find remarkable savings just by price shopping. The highest pharmacy price for <\/span>montelukast<\/span> is $170 for a 30-<\/span>day supply<\/span>. The <\/span>lowest price<\/span> is $41.<\/span><\/p>\n

3<\/span>. <\/span>Save an additional 5% by finding the cheapest 90-day price\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some generic medications are cheaper per tablet when filled as a 90-day prescription. The lowest <\/span>retail price<\/span> for a 30-day <\/span>montelukast<\/span> prescription is $41. That\u2019s a 70% discount off the average price. A 90-<\/span>day supply<\/span> can cost as little as $100, or $33 per month. That\u2019s an additional 5% savings.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Always consider all the costs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Realistically speaking, once the price of <\/span>montelukast<\/span> is discounted to as low as $4 per month, there\u2019s not much reason to search for better deals. However, for people with asthma, there will likely be other costs, such as emergency inhalers, office visits, lab tests, and potential urgent care or emergency room visits. With all of the possible costs added, the best cost-savings solution may be having <\/span>health insurance<\/span>. If private <\/span>health insurance<\/span> is unaffordable, consider enrolling in <\/span>Medicaid<\/span>. Each state has a website that explains <\/span>eligibility criteria<\/span><\/a>, the enrollment process, and additional information that may be needed<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Though <\/span>montelukast<\/span> is moderately expensive, there may be months where the full <\/span>cash price<\/span> of $145 is challenging to afford. However, there\u2019s no reason for anyone to pay full price for <\/span>montelukast<\/span>. There are plenty of strategies to purchase this prescription at a discounted price. Some uninsured patients can get the medication free by enrolling in <\/span>Merck<\/span>\u2019s patient assistance program for <\/span>Singulair<\/span>. However, not everyone will meet the eligibility requirements, and it will not cover <\/span>generic Singulair<\/span>. There are easier and more certain ways to save money, starting with the use of a <\/span>SingleCare<\/span> discount card<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Generic montelukast is usually covered by commercial <\/span>health insurance<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Medicare<\/span> Part D<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Medicaid<\/span><\/a>, provided it\u2019s prescribed for an <\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved condition.<\/span><\/p>\n
