SINGULAIR  (MONTELUKAST SODIUM):  Montelukast is used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma and decrease the number of asthma attacks. Montelukast is also used before exercise to prevent breathing problems during exercise (bronchospasm). This medication can help decrease the number of times you need to use your rescue inhaler. This medication is also used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, stuffy/runny/itchy nose). This medication does not work right away and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks or other breathing problems. This drug works by blocking certain natural substances (leukotrienes) that may cause or worsen asthma and allergies. It helps make breathing easier by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the airways.   FDA Approval Date: 1998-02-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  asthma extreme sensitivity, irritability, aggressiveness, depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping. I am filling this information in based on experiences with my son. Singulair was a miracle for us when he first began taking it just after his 2nd birthday and worked well for the first year. At the beginning of his 2nd year on the meds he started showing the symptoms above. We took him off the singulair and maintained his other asthma meds as previously prescribed...the symptoms disappeared completely after about 2 months. No other changes to his meds were made. M 4 2 years
