Subject: Here is more info on Xopenex. See inside

XOPENEX (pronounced zô-pen-eks) is a fast-acting medicine that is used to treat the narrowing of airways (bronchospasm) caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). XOPENEX relaxes the tightened muscles around your airway passages and relieves symptoms like coughing, sneezing, chest tightening, and shortness of breath.

Also if you google cystic fibrosis drugs, you will see they will prescribe bronchodilators for this.

I am pretty confind that it is Xopenex. You are welcome. NM

Died of GERD?
Subject: Died of GERD?

Can GERD really kill you? I've got a doc who sounds like she is saying "She has a sister who died of gastroesophageal reflux."

But all my attempts at Googling have failed to unearth anything that said GERD was a life-threatening disease... Do I really need my ears checked or is this something that could actually happen?
