I have a mom who's physician is interested on putting her on 5-10mg
Singulair (montelukast sodium) dissolved in 1.5 fl. oz. of normal
saline 3 TID in each nostril.

The mom has a bad allergy to tree pollen and mold which causes asthma
or asthma-like symptoms (not a good thing to have here in Kentucky -
I'm having the same problems ;->).  Her child is about 2 yo and
breastfeeding.

Anyway, I've looked it up in Hale's MMM 1999, but, this drug is
usually used orally and there is no info on using it intransally.

 From what I understand, there is or was a clinical trial on using
Singulair intranasally and this mom seems to be a good candidate to
use this drug this way.

I'd like some info that I can pass on to her, so that she can share
it with her physician.

Thanks,
