My 12 year old son given Singulair yesterday by our pediatrician for a mild allergy problem (a sample package with a prescription to fill). There were no issueswith the first dose but he began vomiting after breakfast and again later that morning. After reading these posts I realize that as a parent we must be more cautious of the medications we give to our children and investigate possible side effects prior to treatment, no matter what the doctors say. I have not read any other signs of vomiting from these posts but a lot of other possible side effects that I am just not willing to take any chances with this medication. In the trash it goes.

My son was on Singulair from age 18 months to 6 yrs old. I posted on this site almost 2 yrs ago. We had many problems before I found this site and discontinued the Singulair. Among those was frequent complaints of his tummy feeling sick or hurting and he would vomit easily; even just if he coughed a little too hard or got upset/crying. Vomiting as a side effect would not surprise me.
