My 4 year old daughter gained 13 pounds in 7 months, and she was only taking singulair. The doctor denied weight gain being a side effect from singlair and suggested I change her diet and increase her activities. She has always been an active child, dance classes, gymnastics,swim lessons and just never stopping. Her choice of foods were never cookies or candy or even bread. But I increased her activities and eliminated juices and she still continued to gain weight.We also did a blood test to check her thyroid and the test was negative.The other side effects included sensitivity to noise and extreme mood swings. I took my daughter off singulair two weeks ago and will never put her back on it. I will let you know the outcome of my decision.
Good luck with your decision, afterall, our children depend on us for making the right choices for them
