My 2 year old boy is vomiting. He has recently been taking singulair. Could this be related?

Question

Hello, my son has asthma. He had an attack at the beginning of the week, he was prescribed singulair and since then he has been vomiting. He is eating very little. He continues to drink, but in smaller quantities.

Hello Ma'am, Yes, it may be related. About 2% of children experience nausea and decreased appetite with this medication. According to my research, it lasts about 2 weeks usually, before settling down. So I would recommend that you continue to give it. If nothing changes in 10 days, I would recommend that you contact your pharmacist to see if an alternative could be found. Happy day! Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
