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.
