More about Inhalers & other Medications that contain Dairy

I continue to be shocked at how many medications contain DAIRY that are for allergy or asthma patients.  And…it’s super hard to find any information or links to decipher all of this or get a list.

I wanted to post this brief article and link to what I did find.  I cannot verify the accuracy of this list or endorse it, but I am certainly going to investigate any of these that I take–I borrowed this list from the following association-  Allergy/Asthma Information Association     http://www.aaia.ca/en/milk_proteins_and_allergy_medications.htm
