The name Centereach was chosen when it was discovered that a name in Upstate New York already had the name New Village. The name indicates the centrality of the hamlets location on Long Island. Dawn Estates and Eastwood Village were the first suburbs in the area, built in the 1950s.
Steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone, can be used for asthma as well as other lung diseases. Prednisone and other steroids (inhaled, oral, or by injection) help calm airway inflammation in asthma.
Because Singulair (montelukast) and other leukotriene modifiers are not as effective as inhaled steroids, they are not considered a first-line treatment for asthma. However, Singulair (montelukast) and other leukotriene modifiers can be useful if inhaled steroids alone do not control your asthma symptoms. Singulair (montelukast) and other leukotriene modifiers are also one potential option if you don't want to or cannot take inhaled steroids.
