Singulair was granted U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 1998, and by 2004, it was generating $2.62 billion in revenue. There were concerns by 2009 that Singulair might negatively impact patients' mental health. That year, the FDA altered its warning about the drug to include “neuropsychiatric events.” According to the FDA, the drug's adverse mental health side effects might include “postmarket cases of agitation, aggression, nervousness, dream abnormalities and hallucinations, depression, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, suicidal thinking and behavior (including suicide), and tremor.” Since the beginning of Singulair, there has been growing concern regarding the potential for severe mental health problems, including suicidal thoughts and attempts at suicide. In March 2020, the FDA began requiring a “black box” warning label on every unit of Singulair, warning of these risks. The FDA now warns against treating seasonal or chronic allergies with Singulair, except when no other medication is effective for that patient. Merck & Co. is now facing Singulair mental health lawsuits from Singulair users who allege that the medication caused them to experience adverse mental health symptoms, including suicidal ideation. If you or a loved one have taken singulair and experienced suicidal ideation or other adverse Singulair mental health symptoms, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact a Singulair Lawyer today.
