Singulair and Mood Changes
Today, the FDA announced their concern about the possible
association between the use of Singulair and behavior/mood changes, suicidality
and suicide.
The FDA is currently investigating these associations and has advised patients
taking Singulair to have their behavior/mood closely monitored by a health
care professional.
From the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, allergies and asthma
are often due to constitutional weaknesses. While medications like Singular
can be very effective in alleviating symptoms, they do nothing to treat
the root of the problem.
Acupuncture and herbal treatment target the root of the problem, correcting
constitutional imbalances and, thus, helping to alleviate asthma and allergies
for the long term.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are also helpful in correcting mood disorders.
