My 3 year old son has been on singular for about 6 months and just in the last month he has been breaking out in these rashes. The rash starts with him scratching and can start anywhere on his body. It can be on his butt, thighs, arms, neck, back and face. Some of them are small circles and others start like that but then turn into big welps. I give him benadryl and he stops itching and they go away. I took him to the doctor recently for a checkup and we were told it was related to fever and an infection (which he had at the time.) However, it still persists and after reading all your comments and am convinced it is the singulair. I am so pissed right now because the paper that comes with the medication mentions nothing about rashes.
Thanks for all your comments, it has really been enlightening

My wife began taking Singulair April 2005 because of allergies (couging with some spitting) and by June when we returned to see the Dr. she was fine but her Dr. wanted to keep her on Singulair. The first of August she began having serious coughing and spitting (mostly at night) and it continues. The x-rays and ct scans show her lungs are okay. My question/concern is the Singulair ad on TV mentions a side effect of upper respitory infection and when I brought this up to the Dr. it was ignored. My wife does pretty well during the day but takes her Singulair at bedtime and either the laying down or the Singulair is causing her to wake up every 2 -3 hours coughing and spitting.

I have been experiencing severe hair loss and thought it was the Fosamax, so stopped that drug, but the hair loss is continuing. I have found only one article relating Singular to hair loss.
