Asthma, Maintenance
"I can&#039;t really rate the drug itself, since I&#039;ve never taken it. I don&#039;t even meet the criteria to be on it, that of the maker or of my insurance.
But, the pulmonologist was pushing me to get on it. He called me on the phone, but only told me the name, and that the insurance would cover it. I looked it up,  I&#039;ve only been in the hospital once for asthma, for 2 days, in my life (at 60), no ER trips for it for years, not on ICS because I can&#039;t use them due to severe side effects in me. I told him he must be thinking of another patient. Then he tried using the result of the IgE test, and fact I have pets, which I don&#039;t even react to. He  exaggerated everything about my history. Some sort of Kickback is all I can figure, here. "
