I'm not sure what the active ingrediant is in singulair as we don't have that proprietry name but there should be an alternative of some sort. I think I have had more than one type of drug for asthma.

They have mood and behavior changes listed amongst the serious side effects to contact the doctor immediately. Top psychiatric effects include agitation, aggressive behavior, and hostility.

It was pretty hard to pinpoint all these effects in a kid with a ton of sensory issues especially because he started the meds the week preschool ended so a lot went on at first. But this last week or two I knew for sure things were off. Our allergist office closed down the week after we got the meds so we have to find a new doctor. I was hoping that wouldn't be necessary until a follow up next year . But I'll talk about this at least with our family doctor when we go in.

Mk13, you might want to look at the inactive ingredients too - our dd who has food allergies had the same type of reaction on singular, when she was around 4-5 years old, and the culprit wasn't the singular,MIT was something. In the inactive ingredients. She's also our sensory-challenged kid and some of what looked sensory was related to allergies.

I'm so glad you found the trigger - and I hope you're able t find someg else for his asthma.
