The risk to benefit ratio is questionable in regards to this drug in pediatric use.It has been overprescribed and not fully understood.Sneaky http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8690 Thu, 29 May 2008 07:48:02 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8691 You don't say why the doctor prescribed Singulair. We know from Merck's research that Singulair does not prevent an acute asthma attack and would not be used to treat an acute asthma attack. It's original purpose was to decrease inflammation in the airwa http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8691 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:08:21 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8694 What I would like to remind you is that your pediatrician works for you and if you voice a concern, they should take it seriously. If they don’t, then my advice would be to look for another pediatrician - children should not be given a drug with so many http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8694 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:12:23 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8696 What I would like to remind you is that your pediatrician works for you and if you voice a concern, they should take it seriously.

My daughter had mood changes. She is 15 and can articulate better than a younger child. Now that she is off the drug, she told her pediatrician that if it wasn't for her Dad and I watching http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8705 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:44:05 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8708 Please just read all these comments and understand we have all been through this horrible roller coaster.

Please, it is not worth risking the terrible side effects that are commonly listed http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8727 Fri, 30 May 2008 12:38:17 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8742 Read this site and decide if you want your child to suffer the way ours have. I would tell your doc you refuse to use this med until they have proven it to be safe. Merck and the other pharmco's woo docs with all sorts of incentives and literally brainwa http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8742 Fri, 30 May 2008 19:32:09 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/30901?item=8759 My oldest son suffered from mood swings, nightmares, and cutting while on singulair, I didn't even suspect it (Singulair) at the time. He has been off singular for 2 years and has not suffered from these since.
