|
It's allergy season and if you are one of millions of Americans who take antihistamines, PLEASE TAKE NOTE. This particular warning involves the drug Singulair, a leukotriene inhibitor prescribed to prevent asthma attacks and relieve allergy symptoms. The FDA issued a warning to healthcare providers and patients of the possible risk between Merck's best selling Singulair and mood/behavior changes and suicide. Patients should discuss this information with their doctor before reducing or eliminating this medication. http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2008/safety08.htm#Singulair |
