singulair-associated neuropsychiatric incidents

 Singulair (montelukast) is a drug prescribed to patients suffering from asthma or severe allergies that can provide symptom relief and help them manage their condition. It is a very successful drug for its manufacturer, Merck & Co. Singulair received the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) marketing approval in 1998; by 2004, Singulair was doing $2.62 billion in sales


But by 2009, there were concerns that Singulair may have an adverse effect on its users’ mental health. That year, the FDA updated its potential side effect warning about Singulair to include the potential for “neuropsychiatric events.” 

​The FDA warned that the potential adverse mental health symptoms could include: ”postmarket cases of agitation, aggression, anxiousness, dream abnormalities and hallucinations, depression, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, suicidal thinking and behavior (including suicide), and tremor.”
