Singulair Precocious Puberty, Dilemma, Asthma, Profession, Parents
Posted over a year ago
My eight year old daughter was recently diagnosed with precocious puberty. This is devastating to my family...She was on singulair fo asthma for almost 4 years...Noone in the med profession will comment on how this happened but the internet is filled with other parents dealing with the ame dilemma. I am so furious right now.
Flindy - I am with you on that one.....Why docs wont listen is beyond me,my eyes have been opened up to the tunnel vision of docs and pharma.We have seen the devastating effects of this drug,and yet nobody wants to do further testing to find out the depths of the effects,i have requested 3 blood tests from 2 docs and been told no....NO what did i asked them to pay for it,maybe if it was their child they would further understand why we are concerned,our children have been poisoned and yet they can turn a deaf ear....Good luck to you
Catherineevans - My granddaughter began Singulair at age 9 and one year later got her period. Another year went by before we read the story about the psychological effects of this drug and took her off it immediately. I emailed Dr. Sarah Sellers in charge of the FDA investigation and told her that this may be connected. Now with your 8-year old it's a real possibility that this drug has affected the part of the brain that controls hormones,etc. Her mother and I asked all of our female relatives on both sides when they began their period to see if anyone had an early onset--NO ONE did and we are convined that this drug (and many others) shoudl never have been prescribed for children--the pharmaceutical companies do not care about anything but money, they have no ethics, no moral boundaries and have used children as experiments since no studies were done with children. Please write to SarahSellers@fda.gov and tell her your story. The results of their investigation are supposed to be completed in November and I hope they ban this drug for children.
Chris555 - Are you a vegetarian? I have read a lot of articles about how meats have caused children to have early puberty. Unless you are feeding certified organic meat then I would be more suspicious about any meat you eat, laden with hormones for the animals to grow bigger.
Nafrana - My dAUGHTER HAS JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED AND SHE HAS BEEN IN SINGULAIR SINCE SHE WAS 3...COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME ANY HELPFULL INFORMATION AS I AM TRYING TO UPDATE HER DOCTOR...THANKS..MY EMAIL IS nafrana@hotmail.com
Imaschroeder - hmm, my daughter started having signs of puberty at 6 and has been on Singulair for 3 yea4 years now. She is 7. Pubic hair is starting to turn black (sorry TMI I know, but its scary to me) I have had her tested for precocious puberty and had her growth plate x-rayed. Nothing came of it. anyone here have any alternatives to singuliar? imaschroeder@yahoo.com
