My Pead has reassessed my DD3's asthma meds as she has not had the best winter.
She was on Flixotide, ventolin and redipred when needed.
He is now changing the fixotide to seretide (steroid and long acting ventolin) as well as the ventolin and redipred.
He also wants to add singulair to that regimen but I have been researching into it and the side effects are quite scary.
From the singulair site;
Behavior and mood-related changes have been reported. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you or your child have any of these symptoms while taking SINGULAIR:

agitation including aggressive behavior or hostility
bad or vivid dreams
depression
disorientation (confusion)
feeling anxious
hallucination (seeing or hearing things that are not really there)

irritability
restlessness
sleepwalking
suicidal thoughts and actions (including suicide)
tremor
trouble sleeping
I would really love to hear from those who have either had their child on this or have been on it themselves and if they have experienced any of the side effects....or it has been a positive drug.
Reading this has scared me and I know her pead is talking about this for her benefit but at what cost.
I am very confused.
