Delayed Onset of Neuropsychiatric Effects Associated with Montelukast.

Delayed Onset of Neuropsychiatric Events with Montelukast

This research explores the potential [neuropsychiatric side effects] associated with [montelukast], a common medication for [asthma]. The study presents a [case report] of a [young boy] who experienced [unusual neuropsychiatric events] several years after starting montelukast.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research reminds us that even the most familiar of medications can have unexpected consequences. Just as a camel can be affected by changes in the desert environment, individuals can react differently to medications over time. The case report serves as a reminder to be vigilant and open to the possibility of delayed side effects, ensuring that we can navigate the world of medication use with greater safety and awareness.
