I am so thankful I found this site! My 4 year old son who suffers from asthma & allergies was just prescribed Singulair on Tuesday 10/21 along with Pulmcort inhaler & Xyzal.The doctor said to give him these daily for a month due to it being Fall. I do not like the idea of him being on any drug let alone 3 at one time. So today I started to do research on them. I will NOT be giving him the Singulair ever again!! He only had it the past two nights. He only had one pill on Tuesday night and by Wednesday night at his basketball practice he was saying he was tired and laying on the floor...this is so not like him. I believe it probably was from this medicine already having an effect on him. I am glad I found this site before he started to have these horrible symptoms that so many innocent children have had. I am going to call his Doctor and ask for something else to give him. What have doctors prescribed for your children in place of Singulair????

I'm so glad you found this site. Please visit us at www.parentsforsafety.org.
About halfway down the homepage is a link to the recommended treatment for asthma. Singulair is NOT part of it.

Please help us raise awareness of the potential side effects of Singulair by sharing the information on our site with others!

Yes the most serious side effects of singulair are fatigue, weakness and diarrhea You should contact the doctor immediately for further help.http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/singulair.html
Since your son is also having pulmicort please have look at the side effects of this drug too so that you will be able to call your doctor when you see the appearance of side effects in him. Have a look at http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/pulmicort.html

I do not think a generic for Singulair has been approved yet by the FDA!!!
