While I am sure that Singulair has adverse effects for some children/teenagers/adults, I took Singulair for 2-3 years (until my asthma symptoms improved to the point where I didn't need to take it) while I was a kid and had no adverse side effects. Started back on Singulair in April after having severe reactions to my new puppy (I am now 21). Since then, I really haven't had any side effects at all. I agree that they should black box Singulair and possibly not prescribe it to some children/teens, but for some people (like myself), it works, and shouldn't be taken off the market completely.

read some off your other post,ever consider your knee pain from singulair,although a lot of us agree this is a great drug for asthma...the side effects can be debilitating..the pharma core of this drug is quinoline deadly to some,be very careful the effects creep up on you without you being aware,that is why our kids were on it for years,we wouldnt knowingly poison our children we thought we were helping them....Be very very careful

I appreciate your warning about this medicine. Although my knee pain started occurring only a couple of hours after taking the single high dose of prednisone, I will keep a close watch on other symptoms that might occur from taking Singulair. I think it might be a little hard to tell though, since I am on several other medicines, too (Spiriva, Astelin, Veramyst, Symbicort 160/4.5, Proventil as needed & Claritin). Although I understand the part about effects creeping up on you, as I believe my unusually high (but not dangerous) heart rate is a result of taking the Nebulizer w/Albuterol for several years (and even could be why I have slight MVP which suddenly showed up last year).
