I have discovered that there is no pure form of penicillan. They all contain corn. Prednisone ODT is the only form that does not contain corn. Feverall is the only fever reducer that she can use. She gets severe headaches but can't undergo an MRI w/ contrast because all contrast contains corn. Every day is a learning experience. At least we now know the cause of all of her health problems and breathing. If we keep her corn free she is a happy healthy little girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32486779.post-83347931211950157852009-10-28T21:27:42.373-07:002009-10-28T21:27:42.373-07:00Found your blog a couple years later...

I can't tell you how many pharmacists I've argued with insisting on seeing the actual package insert to read the inactive ingredients.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902061660201429765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32486779.post-10221348630954392042007-11-03T18:38:00.000-07:002007-11-03T18:38:00.000-07:00Fight your insurance for coverage of over-the-coun...Fight your insurance for coverage of over-the-counter meds that you need to be compounded due to food allergies. It requires a doctors note stating why this medication is vital and explaining about the food allergy.<BR/><BR/>It was hard, but I won that battle with my insurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32486779.post-82695177773306632322007-06-17T19:59:00.000-07:002007-06-17T19:59:00.000-07:00I wish more people understood this!

The last time my son needed an antibiotic, he had to be admitted into the hospital to have it via IV because it did not come in any corn-free form orally.<BR/><BR/>The hospital pharmacist didn't believe me, and gave him someting to take home - I tried it the night before he was to be released, and he had a horrible reaction - he had hives from head to toe. It was quite a wakeup call for the hospital.<BR/><BR/>More people need to be made aware of this. We have all the over-the-counter medications he would normally take (like diphenhydramine, acetominophen and ibuprophen) compounded, and it costs $100 a bottle - which is not covered by insurance, because they are over-the-counter doses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
