I don't know if it was recorded. AAFA did not host the webinar, so I'll have to find out if the host (ATS) recorded it. I won't know before Monday. If they did, I'll be sure to post the information here on how to access it.
Lynnnowik, the device is not out yet -- the Wing website (click the blue letters to take you to their website) has some information about it and a place to sign up for news alerts. The blog says that they're hoping to release it in the fall. In the meantime, how can we help you with your asthma? I hope you'll join us on our Daily Roll Call "thread" on the forums -- it's a great way to get to know other folks who are managing asthma and get a little encouragement each day!
UPDATE from GlaxoSmithKline: "Based on the questions you seem to be receiving, it’s important to point out that the voluntary retail-level recall affects only two lots of Ventolin HFA, in the US. The recall does not extend beyond the US. The lot numbers are 5ZP1708 and 5ZP1951, which were distributed only in the US market. Please note that lot number 5ZP1708 was manufactured on 07 July 2015, with an expiry date of December 2016. Lot 5ZP1951 was manufactured on 22 August 2015 with an expiry...
This is a real recall put out by the FDA - but many pharmacies did not receive it. One option is to print out the FDA recall press release and take it to the pharmacy. They can call GSK as a medical representative. I tried calling and didn't get anything about being charged for the call. What option did you choose?
We reached out to GlaxoSmithKline today and they have provided this information for us: "In response to some of the questions raised on this forum, any person with concerns about this voluntary recall, or if you believe you have an inhaler from an affected lot, please contact the GSK Response Center for instructions. This call is free of charge. The lot numbers affected by the recall are Lot 5ZP1708 and Lot 5ZP1951. Please do not go directly to your pharmacy without calling the Response...
I got a new doctor and he did the prior authorization correctly and It was still denied. They want to know why I can't use it.I left a message for my doctor to do the appeal and tell them it doesn't work for me.I'm still using the inhaler that my sister sent me the money for. I still have to use my inhaler in hot weather here in Az. It's 115 and tomorrow 117 and we've had dangerously hot weather. We already broke the record of 120 from 23 yrs.ago. I stayed in for 2 weeks because dangerous...
@Carrottop50 , that's scary and frustrating. Kathy P mentioned this blog post below, so you may have already checked it out. But if you haven't, definitely read up on What to Do If You Can't Afford Your Asthma Medicines .
Up until 2 weeks ago, I took prednisone only for a cold or flu symptoms . Also I had started on Stiolto 3 months ago, replacing Alvesco and Spiriva. My doctor recommended the change. I should have researched it. I had used Symbicort, then Advair, then Breo all with the same results: quite pronounced chest pains after a few weeks on the new med. The first time resulted in extensive testing, focusing on potential heart problems, but with numerous other tests for physical, chemical, even...
William, that's a tough road you've had to travel to figure out what was causing the chest pains. Here's hoping that your doctor can help you figure out the next step. In the meantime, feel free to post a new topic or join in on our online support community.
