FDA Alert – Stolen Advair Inhalers Sold at Pharmacies

by Melissa on July 16, 2010

If you’ve been reading my blog for any bit of time then you’re aware that my daughter has asthma. After exhibiting the warned neuropsychiatric side effects of Singulair, she was switched to Advair to control her asthma. I just received an alert from the FDA that batches of Advair that were stolen ended up being sold through some pharmacies. If you or someone you know uses Advair Diskus 250/50 or 500/50 please read this notice. My daughter has been on 250/50 during flare-ups but we no longer have that dosage in the house. Her standard dose of 150/50 was not included in this alert.

Blogging From My New iPad

April 4, 2010

However, I didn’t buy this as a laptop replacement. It is actually my graduation gift – I will finally be graduating [...]

It was a true family affair – my parents, sister, brother-in-law, nephews, husband, and of course Ava and Alex. Ava was insistent on going first and she got her wish. When it was time to go she just walked like [...]

Asperger’s Syndrome, Transitions, and Meltdowns

March 14, 2010

It has been a long time since my son has had a meltdown. He’s 8 years old now and has been diagnosed with either PDD-NOS or Asperger’s Syndrome.
