Important FDA Alert on Singular April 1, 2008

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.
