Please report your son's adverse reaction to singulair to the FDA and to Merck. Please have your pediatrician report this as well. Check out www.parentsforsafety.org for more information. I hope your son is feeling better soon!

I understand fully your feelings about not reading more about the side effects of this drug before giving to your young son. I am a retired RN and lost a granddaughter to suicide who had been on Singulair for 3 1/2 years. It was not until after her death that so many of the side effects became known. It is very important that we become advocates to educate the public and to push for more legislation to make these facts known. Please go to parentsforsafety.org and consider signing the petition. Also it would help if you would contact your legislative representative and pass on this information to everyone you know and to your constituents in the medical profession. I am happy that you found out about this drug now and that you can see your son return to the productive, happy child that he was. You will be in my thoughts.
