Only because my dear partner is a pharmacist, did I find out that I was getting worse from the use of inhalers because they have soy in them. And I am allergic to soy!!
A good to know!

Wow. I'm not, but you'd think....
Lecithin?
Anyone allergic to corn should know that IV glucose is corn-derived, also. WTF?
Which inhalers? Albuterol? Specific brands?
Some have oleic acid in them, which may be the soy-derived ingredient.Quote:

So that pretty much rules out any natural source. That leaves you with trying to make it yourself. Which is stupid. It's doable, but a PITA. Why bother when plants are so much better at it? And corn is cheap.
ETA: The one I looked at was an albuterol formulation
This may help.

Hazards of the trade. :) And good luck with your exam!Quote:
