Does anyone know if Cromolyn Sodium is still available or whether or not it has been discontinued? ## Hi Bill, According to my research: "The maker of Intal, King Pharmaceuticals, has discontinued manufacturing the inhaled form, "Cromolyn Sodium inhalation aerosol", due to issues involving CFC-free propellant. As stocks are depleted, this inhaler preparation will no longer be available to patients. In the EU it is manufactured without CFCs by Sanofi-Aventis, although it must be imported from Canada for USA residents." Cromoglicic acid (Cromolyn) is however available in multiple forms (other than the inhaled form), so I would consider asking your local pharmacy about the availability of those other options if you can't find this one anywhere. I hope this information h...

I found a clear capsule with tiny white balls inside it. The capsule has no markings on it at all. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? The only thing I have found that this could be is ecstasy. More specifically Sasafras ecstasy. I want to know for sure before jumping to conclusions. ## My boy told me this pill was pretty good, it is an orange pill with the number 1 on it. it's thicker than the purple or blue stars but it seems pretty nice. ## If there are no markings, it is impossible to positively identify it, unless you would pay to have it lab tested. ## I can bet it's thins a diet pill which can be bought over the counter or with prescription. It contains ephedrine and 1 tab will not do much but if you take 5+ it will give you quite a rush. ## it sounds a form of ...

i wasnt to see a picture of the pill its self ## There is no product on the market, that I can find, named Effigen, it is usually a misunderstanding of Ephedrine, which many people take for energy and weight loss. However, it is manufactured throughout the world, by many different companies, so there are many of them on the market and I couldn't possibly post pictures or descriptions of all of them. Since it acts as a stimulant, it is also dangerous to use without a doctor's approval and supervision. What country are you in? Where did you purchase it?

How long does ethagine take to leave the body??? ## I can't find any information on a product under this name. However, I believe you may be referring to something that contains the active ingredient Ephedrine and, if that is the case, it is stimulant that is used to aid in weight loss. However, it can create the risk of cardiac dangers, because it may elevate blood pressure and heart rate. As to how long it can be detected, if it is detected, I am afraid that I also have no information on that. Does anyone else know more?

Please give me information on this drug? My physician prescibed the drug singulair but it wasn't available in our community drugstore. The parmacist said that Montemax is its equivalent and I bought it instead. Thanks. ## Montelukast is the generic for Singulair. It is not available in generic form in the U.S. yet, but it is common for generics to be available faster in other countries. So it appears that Montemax is just the name that another company manufactures it under. ## hi my baby uses singulair but her pedia advised me to shift to montemax since it's cheaper and yet it has the same effects, i actually never knew about before our she told us so...so far it's ok ## my daughter use it for 4 years is it ok to continue and shes using 4mg do i need to use 5 mg now?
