Manufacturer GSK has said it's discontinuing the branded asthma inhaler Flovent, and instead is making an 'authorized generic' version, which is identical but without the same branding.
'This medication has been the most commonly used inhaled medication for the past 25 or 30 years,' said Dr. Robyn Cohen, a pediatric pulmonologist at Boston Medical Center. 'It's the one that, overwhelmingly, pediatricians reach for when they decide that their patient needs a daily preventive medication. ... The fact that it's being discontinued is going to be a huge shock to the system for patients, for families and for doctors.'
