Singulair, now a generic, is still used by millions of people in the United States even after thousands of patients and dozens of studies have described harm.
The FDA required their most serious warning, the black box warning, on the drug several years back. The problem is that peoples’ doctors haven’t talked with them about the psychiatric side effects, so they end up suffering or killing themselves.
For most people who take it, the drug is incredible at treating asthma and doesn’t have any of these side effects.
For the few who do have one of the side effects, it’s something they have to stop taking.
Our FDA is fucking trash
