2009-06-17
FDA provided healthcare professionals with updated information on the original March 2008 early communication and January 2009 follow-up communication about the ongoing safety review for the leukotriene inhibitors, montelukast, zafirlukast and zileuton. Neuropsychiatric events have been reported in some patients taking montelukast (Singulair), zafirlukast (Accolate), and zileuton (Zyflo and Zyflo CR). FDA has requested that manufacturers include a precaution in the drug prescribing information (drug labeling).
