A derivative of the drug is being used in patients with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Looks promising so far. Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli are cruciferous vegetables. Nutritionists recommend that men make these veggies part of their diet at least once per week. There is evidence that it can reduce a man's risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. One of the biggest advances in the treatment of asthma also occurred back in the mid -60's with the discovery of Ventolin Isalbutamoll. Previous inhalers for asthma were extremely hard on the heart while this new inhaler was more selective to lung and bronchial tissue. It is still in use today. Speaking of inhalers, if you are using one of those powder inhalers that you have to use your own breath power to get the dose into your lungs, be sure you are doing it correctly. Many people dont get the complete dose due to faulty technique. It seems that the error rate increased with age. It is important that you know how to get the best out of your medications. As your pharmacist, ifs our job to ensure you receive that knowledge. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
