Asthma treatments and mental health visits after a Food and Drug Administration label change for leukotriene inhibitors.
This study investigated how a label change to include neuropsychiatric adverse events (e.g., depression and suicidality) affected the use of leukotriene inhibitors (LTIs) and other asthma controller medications, mental health visits, and suicide attempts. The label change was associated with abrupt reductions in LTI use among all age groups.

Prevalence and characteristics of medication sharing behavior in a pediatric Medicaid population with asthma.
The researchers described features surrounding the sharing and borrowing of nonprescription medications and examine the effects of this behavior on adverse asthma outcomes among children with asthma. They found a trend toward decreased Asthma Control Test (ACT) score and a higher proportion of patients with ACT scores of 19 or lower among those who shared or borrowed medication.
