Should I stop taking the drug if my child develops sleep problems, anxiety and anxiety after 1.5 months of using Milukante?

Milukante (montelukast) may cause nervous system side effects in some patients, such as insomnia, anxiety or mood swings. These symptoms are described in the leaflets and literature as possible side effects, although they do not appear in every patient.

In the event of symptoms such as problems with falling asleep, anxiety or anxiety, you should immediately consult your child's doctor. It is not recommended to discontinue the drug on your own without consultation, as this may affect the control of asthma or other indications for the use of Milukante. Your doctor will assess whether your symptoms are related to the medicine and decide whether to change your treatment or adjust your dosage.

I encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse effect of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
