"Link Between Asthma Drug Singulair and Mental Side Effects Revealed"
TL;DR Summary
The FDA issued a black box warning in 2020 about the mental health side effects of the commonly prescribed asthma medication Singulair, but despite this, 12 million people in the United States, including 1.6 million children, were still prescribed the drug in 2022. Concerns have been raised over whether the warning reached enough doctors and patients, as many were unaware of the potential side effects. Patients have turned to the internet and support groups to share their experiences and concerns, highlighting the need for better communication and awareness about the risks associated with the medication.
