Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. Usually there is one single tablet dose for singulair, but if you have taken two , don't worry just keep an eye on your symptoms, if you see any thing odd like shortness of breath, headache, abdominal pain etc in next few hours, know that its due to singulair. No worries, it has half life of 2 to 4 hours so by the time you are reading this question half the dose is already out of your system. So no worries.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
