Another sign that we have gone crazy...
Now who will track the kids who die because they don't get the meds they need or turn to alternative treatments or OTC products? At least following the signal and figuring out the source would have been more rational and compassionate...
I found this post from FiercePharma said it best...
1. Why don't you add the web address where the public can comment to the FDA?
2.How DARE this eletist godlike panel decide what legal drugs I am allowed to take for my asthma.
It is MY choice if the short term benefit of a LABA is worth the long term potential risk.
3. I am allergic to Advair (unable to digest the lactose based carrier), to get the LABA & steroid I have to take them separately.
The god damned FDA Panel has no right to limit or deny me this legal medicine that can save my life.
The FDA panel should NOT make decisions about how to deliver the drugs (separately or together.) If the LABA is legal in Advair, then it is legal. Denying the use in other (competitive) medicines is dicriminatory, increases the risks to my life, and raises the prices. It is also illegal for Advair to have a monopoly- even if the FDA created it.
