Singulair (Montelukast) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that treats allergic rhinitis and asthma by blocking leukotrienes, which cause inflammation, swelling, and mucus production. It is especially effective for nasal congestion and is a convenient once-daily oral tablet, making it a good option for those who prefer pills over nasal sprays. 

Singulair is beneficial for people with both asthma and allergies and can be combined with antihistamines for additional relief. It is best suited for individuals with persistent allergic rhinitis who do not get enough relief from other treatments.
