I have a question for you all to ponder. Why does not the FDA allow a
drug called Pulmacort to be used in this country? It is a drug that
would help millions of asthma sufferers get off prednisone. It is a very
good drug that has very few side effects and works like a miracle. It
has been tested and used in Canada for 8 years successfully.
It was tested in Sweden and other European countrys and found to be safe
and effective. Maybe a Canadian docter would care to comment on it's
use. I asked my doctor about it and he had never heard of it. He gave me
a rx that he thought would be the same; Asthmacort, but it is not even
close to Pulmacort.  It is a tiny granule inhaled with a inhaler. My
sister, who lives in Canada, also has asthma and she can hike, ride
bikes and walk up hill with ease. Just because I live in the USA I am
denied this medicine. Put too many allergists out of business maybe?
