Mental Health Lawsuits Against Merck Over Singulair
Suicide is a serious side effect of Singulair
According to the FDA, the drug Singulair has an increased risk of suicide. The drug has been linked to 82 reports of suicide among adults and children. The drug has also been linked to aggression and depression in children. In some cases, the drug has even led to the death of the patient.
This side effect of Singulair has caused the Food and Drug Administration to strengthen the warnings for the medication. The drug’s label now contains a “black box” warning, which is the FDA’s strongest warning. The warning explains that the drug can cause suicidal thoughts and behavior, and that the drug may increase the risk of suicide.
Tics
In children, frequent tics can interfere with reading, speaking, playing musical instruments, or sports. For example, a child suffering from tics may be distracted from their ball game if they are ticking while waiting for a pitch. Similarly, loud vocal tics can be disruptive to their family and friends. While no medical treatment can completely eliminate tics, there are ways to manage their impact.
Tics are often accompanied by depression or moodiness in teenagers. Frequent tics can interfere with social life, which makes it more difficult for teens to fit in. There are organizations for teens suffering from tics, such as the Tourette Association of America, where they can connect with other teens who are suffering from the same symptoms as they do. These groups can also help them learn about famous adults with Tourette’s syndrome. However, parents are often more concerned about the social implications of tics than their children.
Tremors
If you or a loved one has experienced tremors, anxiety, or depression after taking Singulair, you may be entitled to compensation. You can file a lawsuit to recover compensation for any financial losses and pain and suffering that may have resulted. While the statute of limitations varies by state, most lawsuits will require three years from the date of the injury or diagnosis.
Several studies have raised questions about the effectiveness of Singulair, including its risks and side effects. In 2014, a study showed that it was ineffective for preventing wheezing episodes in children. Leukotriene modifiers, which the drug Singulair contains, have been subject to FDA surveillance. There have been reports of serious side effects, including depression, agitation, aggression, hallucinations, irritability, and tremor.
Stuttering
Singulair is a prescription anti-histamine that can have serious mental health side effects. These side effects can include tremors, tics, and stuttering. They may also lead to mental illnesses such as psychosis and hallucinations. There have also been reports of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
While no medical study has proven a causal relationship between Singulair and stuttering, a significant number of drug-induced stuttering cases have been reported. Stuttering may also be a side effect of antiepileptics, antipsychotics, and immunosuppressants. In addition, some of these drugs may be linked to multiple sclerosis and cerebral inflammation.
Leukotriene inhibitors like Singulair
Leukotriene inhibitors, like Singulair, can lead to severe mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. As a result, Singulair and montelukast are now considered treatments of last resort, and mental health lawsuits have been filed against Merck over the dangerous effects of these drugs.
Singulair lawsuits are filed on behalf of individuals who developed mental health problems after using the medication. These cases are not class actions and are filed in state and federal courts. The claims allege Merck’s negligence in failing to warn patients of severe neuropsychiatric side effects. These include hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, and depression.
Other leukotriene inhibitors may cause similar side effects
There are several side effects of leukotriene inhibitors, and some are more serious than others. Some of them involve liver damage. If you have liver disease, your healthcare provider may recommend that you avoid these drugs or have your liver tested to ensure that they are safe. Other side effects of leukotriene inhibitors include hives and skin blisters. Some patients have also experienced changes in their mental state.
Leukotriene inhibitors block the production of leukotrienes in the body, which are responsible for the inflammatory process. Leukotrienes can cause inflammation in the airways, which can aggravate asthma. By inhibiting the production of leukotrienes, the asthma sufferer can prevent the symptoms of asthma and avoid the need to use steroids.
