Did anyone out there ever see a prescription for this then? For something that arrived on the market as the best thing since Brett Favre, it sort of sunk without trace.

We filled it a couple of times at my pharmacy in the states, but we never had anyone ask for a refill... There must have been something funky about it.
Heard the main reason it didn’t catch on was because the delivery device was the size of a small fire extinguisher. Think one of big pharma has a product in phase 3 trials now thats the same size (if not smaller) than the asthma pumps so i imagine if the price is right you'll be checking that the sticker says the same thing as the prescription for lots and lots of those in the years ahead
Is it ethical for former presidents of a supposedly scientific organisation to promote homepathy?
Does The Welsh Pharmacist bring the profession into disrepute?
