Singulair’s prescribing information states that "In rare cases, patients with asthma on therapy with SINGULAIR may present with systemic eosinophilia, sometimes presenting with clinical features of vasculitis consistent with Churg-Strauss syndrome, a condition which is often treated with systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Physicians should be alert to eosinophilia, vasculitic rash, worsening pulmonary symptoms, cardiac complications, and/or neuropathy presenting in their patients.

Singulair is under investigation by the FDA so please report your adverse reaction as soon as you can: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm. Thank you!
