Okay, in addition to my earlier post, everyone will be relieved to hear that I took my 3 1/2 year old off Singulair immediately after my last post (he had only had 4 or 5 doses). He has not had another nose bleed, and his attitude seems to be back to normal today.
He's still peeing like a faucet, and again I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this while on Flovent or Ventolin??
Also...I think it is important to note that I was told by the specialist that SINGULAIR TAKES 6 WEEKS TO BEGIN TO TAKE EFFECT ON ASTHMA SYMPTOMS, so anyone who wants to take the risk and try the drug needs to stay on their puffers for the first 6 weeks.
When I told my son's specialist (a pediatrician whom I trusted completely up until this:) that I have removed him from Singulair because I had come across some rather alarming info regarding it's side effects--would she like to have the printout that I brought along--she stated that they were well aware of the side effects of the drug -- i could keep my printout.
........WHAAAAATTTT?
This is a doctor who, when I asked her if the drug was safe, she replied "yes". When I asked her if it were her child, would she give it to him? She said yes.
Either she is NOT aware of the true side effects, or she feels that the positives outweigh the negatives...who knows?
I urge everyone who reads this: Do not trust your doctors to make decisions about your children's health without doing your research first and asking lots of questions.
I am just grateful that I have not had to suffer the tragic outcomes that so many of you have had to suffer. My heart goes out to all of you and your children.
