U.S. government researchers have found that a widely prescribed asthma drug originally sold by Merck & Co MRK.N may be linked to serious mental health problems for some patients, according to a scientific presentation reviewed by Reuters.
“The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced last week that more prominent warnings would be added to the information provided on boxes of the #asthma drug #montelukast, sold under the brand name #Singulair. Officials announced the move after concerns were raised by families over reported side effects, which can include sleep disorders, aggression and depression. Many parents say they were not properly warned of the risks.”

CCL11 (aka eotaxin-1) has been found to be elevated in ppl w/ Long Covid cognitive symptoms [1] & this could contribute to neuroinflammation.
Montelukast lowers CCL11 & research on repurposing for Alzheimer's is underway [2]. However, montelukast use has been linked to increased suicidal ideation.
Does anyone know why it would increase suicidal ideation?

If you take #Montelukast whether branded as #Singulair or generic for #Allergies or #Asthma it would be a good idea to read this bulletin from the #FDA and give consideration to whether it is worth continuing.
