My son, just now turned seven has been on Singulair since last October 08. I did not see a big improvement in the allergic rhinitis, though coughing with laughing was somewhat improved. I stopped it over the summer, and restarted it in Sept on the recommendation of the allergist when my son had his first ever real asthma attack after a big fire in our area.
I feel he has become very aggressive and angry since school started, but I can't tell if it's school or Singulair. I have been giving him the granules since he is allergic to many things and sensitive to food dyes, so my question, when aggression is noted in kids, has the form of Singulair been taken into account?

This drug can cause MANY side effects. There are many natural products/alternatives . . . Unfortunately, most drs. push drugs, since that's all they know . . . even to children. I suggest that you read some of the posts.
Thank-you, the question is whether there is any difference in type of/amount of side effects when using the granule form versus the chewable form, and has that been looked at, at all?
Another point I have is that during the first 6-7 months of use, I did not notice any increase in aggression, only after re-starting the same granule form, have I seen a difference in behaviour, so I'm not sure if it is the Singulair or something else.
