FDA requires Boxed Warning about serious mental health side effects for asthma and allergy drug montelukast (Singulair); advises restricting use for allergic rhinitis

We reviewed case reports submitted to FDA, conducted an observational study using data from FDA’s Sentinel System, and reviewed observational and animal studies in the published literature.

We evaluated reporting trends for all neuropsychiatric adverse events associated with montelukast use reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the date of FDA approval in February 1998 through May 2019. There was an increase in reporting of neuropsychiatric events around the time of the initial communications from FDA in 2008. Other increases in reporting were due to duplicate reports or foreign reports. Despite outside influences on reporting patterns, we continue to receive reports of serious neuropsychiatric events with montelukast.

We also performed a focused evaluation of completed suicides. Our analysis included only reports submitted to FDA, so there may be additional cases about which we are unaware. We identified 82 cases of completed suicide associated with montelukast, with many reporting the development of concomitant neuropsychiatric symptoms prior to the event. Forty-five cases were reported in patients older than 17 years, 19 cases were reported in those 17 years and younger, and 18 cases did not provide the age of the patient. The majority of the cases were reported by a family member or on social media. Most cases (48/82) did not contain sufficient information to evaluate the relationship between montelukast and the adverse events. The cases did not include key information such as the time to onset of the event, the use of concomitant medications, the presence of past or current comorbidities, including psychiatric illness; the degree of asthma control; and the presence of other risk factors for the events. Of the remaining 34 cases that were better documented, many contained additional risk factors that may have contributed to the suicide such as the use of medications or presence of comorbidities associated with increased risk for self-harm or behavioral disturbances. Six cases specifically reported concerns about not receiving education from a health care professional regarding the potential for neuropsychiatric side effects.

Using data from the FDA’s Sentinel System from January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2015, we investigated if there is an increased risk of hospitalized and treated outpatient depressive disorders, self-harm, and suicides associated with montelukast use for asthma compared to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). We also evaluated if the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events with montelukast compared to ICS was modified by the 2008 FDA Early Communication and changes to the montelukast prescribing information, or was affected by age, sex, and/or psychiatric history. Patients (n=457,377) 6 years and older diagnosed with asthma and exposed to montelukast or ICS were matched 1:1 on propensity scores. The risk of inpatient depressive disorder associated with montelukast use compared to ICS was not significant (overall HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.90-1.24). There were no significant risks among males, females, patients 12 years and older, patients with a psychiatric history, or after the 2008 FDA communication and prescribing information changes. Exposure to montelukast was also not associated with self-harm (HR:0.92; 95% CI: 0.69-1.21) or modified self-harm (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.63-1.05). Four suicides occurred (two exposed to montelukast, two exposed to ICS), all in patients older than 18 years with a psychiatric history. Exposure to montelukast was significantly associated with a decreased risk of treated outpatient depressive disorder (overall hazard ratio [HR]: 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.89-0.93). Decreased risks were seen among patients with a history of a psychiatric disorder, in patients 12 to 17 years as well as 18 years and older, and in both females and males.

The Sentinel study had limitations. The study relied on outcomes for which patients sought medical attention that were recorded in health care claims. Thus, it was unable to evaluate either the entire spectrum of neuropsychiatric events or events that did not result in a billed encounter. Some neuropsychiatric events may have been handled by discontinuation of the drug without a health care encounter. Most of the usage occurred after the 2008 FDA communication and prescribing information changes about the risk of neuropsychiatric events, so montelukast patients may have been informed to cease treatment should depressive symptoms develop, resulting in a decreased risk among montelukast users. Lastly, the study was unable to adjust for socioeconomic status. However, a literature review did not reveal evidence that montelukast and ICS are prescribed disproportionally to patients of varying socioeconomic status. Patients with higher socioeconomic status may be more likely to seek asthma management through outpatient visits, resulting in increased surveillance for neuropsychiatric adverse events.

We also reviewed evidence from animal studies, which suggest montelukast could act directly on cells in the brain. Orally administered montelukast (10 mg/kg/day for 7 days) was detectable in brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid in rats, providing evidence of its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.¹

Bronchial asthma is a common disease. According to modern data, almost 348 million people in the world suffer from this disease. Early signs of illness: shortness of breath or choking, dry cough and frequent shallow breathing with wheezing. If you have even one of the symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor in order to stop the process in time. Most patients with bronchial asthma respond well to conventional therapy, achieving disease control.

Pharmacist Natalia Dolgikh will tell you about Singulair: it will acquaint you with its active ingredient, dosages, side effects, as well as its use in adenoids.

Singulair: active ingredient

Singulair is a domestically produced drug in the form of classic and chewable tablets. The active substance of the drug is sodium montelukast, which belongs to the leukotriene receptor blockers. In simple terms, the drug reduces the effects of exposure to leukotrienes – substances that cause inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and nasal mucosa. Thanks to this, Singular:

• Relieves bronchial spasm
• Reduces mucus production
• Normalizes the body’s reaction to allergens
• Reduces vascular permeability

In connection with the above, it is easy to answer the question: what helps Singulair. The drug is prescribed for the prevention and long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, including to prevent bronchospasm before exercise. In addition, Singulair is used for allergies: to relieve symptoms of seasonal and year-round rhinitis.

Singular: dosage

Singulair is indicated for the treatment of adults and children. In order to exclude the division of the tablet into parts, the drug is available in several dosages:

• Chewable tablets Singular 5 mg
• Singular 4 mg chewable tablets
• Singular 10 mg film-coated tablets

Dosages are distributed as follows: Singulair 4 mg for children 2 to 5 years old, dosage 5 mg for children 6 to 14 years old. Tablets at a dose of 10 mg are used to treat adults and children from 15 years of age.

Singular: with adenoids

Adenoids are hypertrophied or enlarged pharyngeal tonsils. Singulair is used in the treatment of chronic adenoiditis, combined with symptoms of allergic rhinitis – inflammation of the nasal mucosa. As a rule, in such situations, a combination of Singular and steroid hormones for topical use is used: in the form of an aerosol or inhalation.

The pharmacist adds: “It is important to note that the treatment is selected by the attending physician, based on the severity of the disease and the general well-being of the patient. It is impossible to take drugs on your own without the recommendation of a specialist.

Singulair: hormonal or not

No, Singulair does not contain hormones. However, hormonal agents are first-line drugs for the treatment of bronchial asthma. This means that glucocorticoids or steroid hormones are most effective in treating the disease.

Singulair: side effects

• Upper respiratory infections
• Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic shock
• Sleep disorders, including nightmares, as well as insomnia and somnambulism
• Dizziness and drowsiness
• Epistaxis
• Dryness of the oral mucosa
• Increased activity of liver enzymes
• Skin rash, itching and urticaria
• Joint and muscle pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Involuntary urination in children
• Increased fatigue
• Violation of attention and memory

Singulair and alcohol are incompatible. The drug negatively affects the liver, and the joint intake with alcohol will enhance the effect at times. The risk of occurrence of other undesirable reactions also increases. For example, bleeding, cognitive impairment and the work of the gastrointestinal tract.

Summary

• Singular is a domestically produced medicine in the form of classic and chewable tablets.
• The drug is prescribed for the prevention and long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, including the prevention of bronchospasm before exercise.
• Singulair is indicated for the treatment of adults and children.
• Singular is used in the treatment of chronic adenoiditis associated with symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Singulair and chickenpox: consider compatibility issues

The article talks about whether you can take Singulair if you suspect chickenpox. The author analyzed the data and gave recommendations on what to do in this situation. If you are asking this question, then be sure to read the article.

For many people there is a need to use various medical services. Today we will talk about the compatibility of such important medical indicators as chickenpox and singular. We will find out if there are any nuances that should be remembered while using these drugs.

Singulair is a medicine that is indicated for the treatment of bronchial asthma, as well as for all cases where there are problems with the respiratory system. In turn, chickenpox is an infectious disease that most often affects children of primary school age. However, some adults can also become carriers of the disease. The question of how compatible the use of Singulair and chickenpox is becoming very relevant and important for thousands of patients around the world.

When undergoing treatment with Singulair, many patients usually ask if the standard medicines for children can be used if they have chickenpox? In this article, we will try to answer this and other questions in order to consider the problem in detail and help patients make informed decisions.

Singulair and chickenpox: what are these diseases?

Singular is a medicine used to treat various forms of allergies, such as seasonal allergic rhinitis, hives. It blocks the action of histamine in the body, which is the main cause of allergic reactions.

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella zoster virus. It is spread by airborne droplets and usually begins as a patchy rash on the skin and mucous membranes. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as fever and headache. It clears up on its own for most people, but it can be dangerous for people with weakened immune systems.

Despite the fact that singularity and chickenpox are both related to human health, they have nothing to do with each other. However, if you have allergic reactions to substances that can cause chickenpox or you are part of a risk group, then be sure to check with your doctor before starting treatment with Singulair.

Singular: how does the drug work?

Singular is a drug used to treat asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic reactions. The active substance, montelukast, inhibits the action of the leukotriene substance, which contributes to the narrowing of the bronchi and causes allergic manifestations.

Singulair is available as tablets, chewable tablets and syrup, making it suitable for use in children. Taking the drug in addition to other medications can help reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks and allergy symptoms.

Singulair is generally a safe drug, but some patients may experience unwanted side effects such as dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain or headache. In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, so you should consult your doctor before use.

Chickenpox: what you need to know about the disease?

Chickenpox, or varicella, is an acute infectious disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. It is transmitted through the air and is most common in children ages 1 to 9.years. The main symptom of chickenpox is rolled blisters on the skin, which may be accompanied by itching and pain.

Symptoms of chickenpox

In addition to blisters, symptoms of chickenpox can be:

• Painful blisters on the skin that exist in parallel with dry flaking;
• Severe fatigue;
• Fever;
• Headache.

Chickenpox Treatments

Chickenpox usually clears up on its own within a few weeks. However, there are ways to relieve symptoms:

• Take aspirin or paracetamol to relieve muscle aches and headaches;
• Apply lotion or cream to skin to relieve itching;
• Increase fluid intake to avoid dehydration;
• Wear simple clothing to avoid skin irritation.

Chickenpox prevention

There is a chickenpox vaccine that can prevent the disease. Usually, the vaccine is recommended for children aged 1 to 12 years and those who have not had chickenpox before. However, you should consult your doctor before getting vaccinated.

Now that you know about the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of chickenpox, you need to be mindful of your own health and the health of those around you.

What are the symptoms of chickenpox and how can they be relieved?

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. It usually appears in children between the ages of 2 and 8, but can affect adults.

Symptoms of chickenpox may include:

• blistering eruption, intensely itchy, and spreading over the face, trunk and extremities;
• high body temperature, trembling, headache, muscle pain and fatigue;
• dry cough, runny nose and stuffy nose;
• loss of appetite and abdominal pain;
• dizziness, nausea and vomiting;
• the appearance of internal rashes in the oral cavity, on the tongue and on the mucous membrane of the eyes.

In addition, the symptoms of chickenpox in adults may be more severe than in children. These may include a higher temperature, severe chest pain, and severe headache.

For relief of symptoms of chickenpox, the following may be helpful:

1. Take antihistamines to reduce itching;
2. Take analgesics to relieve pain;
3. Take paracetamol to reduce body temperature;
4. Use cooling lotions and creams to relieve itching;
5. Wear light and simple clothing made of soft material so as not to irritate the rash;
6. Stay calm and avoid strenuous activity so as not to aggravate symptoms.

More severe cases of chickenpox may require more serious treatment, including antiviral drugs.

Singulair: contraindications and side effects

Singulair is a medicine used to treat allergic reactions, asthma and chronic urticaria.

Although widely used, Singulair has some contraindications and side effects to be aware of.

Contraindications. Singulair is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with severe liver or kidney disease.

Side effects. The most common side effects with Singulair are headache, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and drowsiness.

Also, some patients may experience rare but more serious side effects such as allergies or angioedema (rapid swelling of the face, most often on the face and lips).

Talking to your doctor before taking Singulair and being vigilant about side effects will help reduce your risk of negative side effects.

Chicken pox: who is the risk group?

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. The risk group includes people who have never had chickenpox and have not been vaccinated against the disease. Chickenpox is spread through the air and can be serious, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

Children under 10 years of age, adults over 50 years of age, pregnant women, and people who have immunodeficiencies (such as HIV infection, leukemia, or immunosuppressive drugs) are at risk. Also, a risk group may be those who live or work near people who have chickenpox.

If you belong to a risk group, it is recommended that you consult your doctor about the need for vaccinations or other precautions. Vaccination is the most effective method of protection against chickenpox and can prevent serious complications of the disease.

Chickenpox: methods for diagnosing the disease

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. Diagnosis of chickenpox is carried out on the basis of the clinical manifestations of the disease and the conduct of routine laboratory and instrumental studies.

The main diagnostic value in chickenpox is the clinical image of the disease, so the doctor can make a preliminary diagnosis already by the characteristic skin rash. The rash in chickenpox is characterized by the formation of blisters filled with a clear liquid on a red base of the skin. The rash is located on the face, trunk, limbs and is accompanied by itching. Diagnostic issues may arise in patients with an atypical course of the disease, isolated manifestations of herpes virus infection, or complications such as pneumonia.

If necessary, additional research methods are carried out, including bacteriological examination of exudate from vesicles, as well as immunological tests and PCR diagnostics.

In general, the diagnosis of chickenpox is not particularly difficult for a qualified doctor, but self-diagnosis and treatment should be avoided. If you suspect chickenpox, you should always consult a specialist.

Chickenpox: myths and reality

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is often believed that chickenpox only affects children, but in fact, adults can also contract this infection if they have not previously been ill.

One of the common myths about chickenpox is that it can cause infertility. This is not true, chickenpox does not affect a person’s ability to have children. There is also no link between chickenpox and the development of cancer or other serious diseases.

However, chickenpox can cause unpleasant symptoms such as skin rashes, severe itching, headache, fever and dizziness. Antivirals, pain relievers, and antipyretics may be used to treat symptoms.

It is important to note that chickenpox is highly contagious, so people who have not had it before should be careful about coming into contact with people who have the disease. Preventive measures include practicing hand hygiene, wearing masks and isolating the sick.

• Chickenpox Facts:
• Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus;
• She can become infected by airborne droplets;
• Symptoms include rash, itching, headache and fever;
• Chickenpox does not cause infertility and is not associated with cancer;
• Preventive measures are important to prevent infection.

Singulair and chickenpox: is it possible to combine treatment?

Singular (Montelukast) is a medicine used to treat asthma and allergic reactions. Chickenpox (dropsy) is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella zoster virus.

Generally, treatment for chickenpox does not include Singulair, as they are not interchangeable. Singulair does not have an antiviral effect and cannot help speed up recovery from chickenpox. However, in some cases, a doctor may prescribe Singulair to patients suffering from asthma or allergies who have chickenpox to reduce the risk of developing complications associated with asthma and allergic reactions.

In any case, the decision as to which therapeutic course is best for a given situation should be made by the physician alone. If you have questions about the treatment of chickenpox and its compatibility with other medicines, be sure to discuss all the details with your doctor.

Chicken pox: when should you see a doctor?

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella zoster virus. It most often occurs in children, but it can also occur in adults who did not have the disease in childhood or did not receive vaccinations.

The main symptoms of chickenpox are an itchy skin rash, blistering rash, high fever, weakness and headache. In most cases, chickenpox goes away on its own, but in some cases, a doctor’s consultation and treatment is required.

If you or your child develops a high fever, severe abdominal pain, dizziness, trouble breathing, or shaking hands and feet, call your doctor right away. These symptoms may be signs of chickenpox complications.

You should also see a doctor if your general condition does not improve after a few days, if your skin develops pustules, or if you or your child are taking medications that can suppress the immune system.

Your doctor can prescribe medications to help relieve the symptoms of chickenpox, as well as advice on how to prevent and treat complications.

How is chickenpox treated?

Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella Zoster virus.

The main symptom of chickenpox are rashes on the skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Also, the patient may experience headache, weakness and muscle pain.

Treatment for chickenpox focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. Doctors recommend:

• Take analgesics to relieve pain and antipyretics to reduce fever;
• Drink plenty of water and eat a diet of easily digestible foods;
• Stay at home and avoid contact with other people so as not to transmit the infection;
• Do not take aspirin, which can cause acute gastrointestinal upset in children;
• Apply special lotions to rashes to relieve itching and prevent infections.

Most patients recover completely in 1-2 weeks. However, scientists warn that after suffering chickenpox, a person may develop shingles, caused by reactivation of the Varicella Zoster virus.

What drugs can help with chickenpox?

In most cases, chickenpox in children and adults resolves on its own, without the need for medication. However, there are several medications that can help relieve the symptoms of chickenpox and speed up the healing process.

Analgesics and antipyretics will help reduce body temperature and relieve pain. For example, paracetamol or ibuprofen. However, you must follow the instructions for use and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Antivirals may be prescribed for severe chickenpox. They help fight the virus and reduce the chance of complications. Drugs such as acyclovir, famciclovir, and valaciclovir must be prescribed by a doctor.

Antihistamines reduce itching and skin rashes. They help to avoid possible complications that can occur due to excessive tearing and itching. However, they should be taken on the recommendation of a doctor, as they can cause side effects.

In any case, at the first symptoms of chickenpox, you should consult a doctor who will select the best course of treatment. Also, it is necessary to observe personal hygiene and avoid contact with people, especially during the period of rash and crusting.

Singular: how to use the drug correctly?

Singular is a drug indicated for the treatment of allergic reactions and diseases of the respiratory system. It contains the active substance – montelukast sodium, which blocks specific receptors responsible for the development of inflammation in the lungs.

To use Singulair correctly, you must follow the instructions that come with the product. Usually Singulair is taken daily one tablet in the evening, half an hour before meals. The dose may be increased to two tablets, however, this should be agreed with the doctor.

The drug should be taken regularly, even if there are no symptoms of the disease. Do not interrupt treatment or change the dosage without consulting your doctor. If you experience any side effects such as dizziness, stomach pain or diarrhea, be sure to tell your doctor.

Singular should not be used as an emergency treatment for an asthma attack or an allergic reaction. To do this, you must use other medicines prescribed by your doctor. Also, do not use Singulair for other purposes not specified in the instructions.

Chickenpox and Singulair: myths and reality

Chickenpox and Singulair are two terms that are often associated with the myth that Singulair cannot be used for chickenpox. But actually it is not.

Singular is a medicine used to treat asthma. It can be used both in healthy and in patients with chickenpox. You can take Singular with chickenpox without harm to health and additional complications, but this is not a treatment for chickenpox.

An equally common myth is that Singulair can increase the risk of complications from chickenpox. But research has shown that this is not the case. Singulair does not increase the risk of complications from chickenpox.

In conclusion, there are no contraindications to the use of Singulair in chickenpox. But remember that Singular is a drug for asthma, not chickenpox. Therefore, if symptoms of chickenpox occur, you should seek medical help.

How to protect yourself and loved ones from chicken pox?

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease. It is transmitted from person to person by airborne droplets. Therefore, to avoid infection, the following precautions must be taken:

• Avoid contact with sick people. If you have contact with a sick person while you are sick, there is a high chance of contracting chickenpox. Therefore, try not to be in close contact with the patient, do not share clothes, dishes, personal belongings with him.
• Follow good hygiene practices. To protect yourself and your loved ones from chickenpox, you must follow the rules of hygiene: wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after contact with sick people or objects that they may have touched; avoid touching your face and lips; do not share personal items with third parties.
• Get vaccinated. If you have not had chickenpox before, it is possible to get vaccinated. It will reduce the risk of contracting chickenpox. The vaccine does not protect 100%, but significantly reduces the likelihood of infection.
• Follow quarantine measures. If you or your loved ones are found to have chickenpox, you must observe quarantine: do not go to work, school, do not contact new people, stay away from children and people with weakened immune systems.

In conclusion, it is possible to protect yourself and loved ones from chickenpox. To do this, follow the above precautions. Do not forget that it is best to get vaccinated before infection, thereby reducing the risk of contracting chickenpox and preventing the transmission of the virus.

Singular: analogues and alternatives

Singulair is one of the best known drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, there are other drugs that can be used as an alternative or analogue.

• Metformin : This is a drug also used to treat type 2 diabetes. It lowers blood glucose levels, increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin, and reduces the amount of sugar released by the liver.
• Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs (GLP-1 analogs) : This is a group of medicines that help stimulate insulin production, lower blood sugar and reduce appetite. GLP-1 analogs can be used in conjunction with Singulair to improve the effectiveness of diabetes management.
• Sulfonylureas : This is a group of medicines that are also used to treat type 2 diabetes. They help stimulate insulin production, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

Each drug has its own advantages and disadvantages, and when choosing an alternative or analogue of Singular, it is necessary to take into account the individual needs and condition of the patient.

Chickenpox and Singularity: solving problems in a complex

Chickenpox and Singularity are two medical terms that have little in common with each other, but in some cases require a complex solution to the problem.

Chickenpox is a disease caused by the herpes virus and usually presents with skin rashes, weakness and headache. Singulair is a drug used to treat asthma and allergies.

In some cases, patients with asthma or allergies who take Singulair may be more susceptible to the varicella virus because the immune system is weakened. Conversely, people with chickenpox may experience a worsening of asthmatic symptoms and allergies.

To address these problems and prevent complications, close medical supervision and treatment planning are required to meet individual patient needs. In addition, physicians must report all medications and diseases that each patient may have to avoid possible interaction effects.

In total, Singulair and chickenpox are two of the many medical problems that can only be solved individually with the help of experienced professionals. Each patient must understand that there are many factors to consider when designing a treatment and that problem solving requires efforts from all sides.

• Chickenpox causes skin rashes, weakness and headache.
• Singular is a drug used to treat asthma and allergies.
• Patients who take Singulair may be more susceptible to the chickenpox virus.
• Conversely, people with chickenpox may experience a worsening of asthmatic symptoms and allergies.
• Close medical supervision is necessary to resolve these problems.
