I was filling my pillbox for this week when Jon came into the kitchen with an article talking about the FDA investigation of a link between Singulair and suicide.Â? (I’m on Singulair for allergies and asthma and have been for almost 10 years.)

According to the article…

“We have no indication that anything about the mechanism of Singulair is consistent with these events [the suicides],” said George Philip, directorof research and product development.Â? “But because suicide is a life threatening event we thought it was important to provide this information in the product label.”

Apparently, suicide is a life-threatening event.Â? Who would have guessed?

(Jon laughed for about 5 minutes when I pointed this out to him.)
