Asthma Inhaler Drug Is Recalled
From Times Wire Reports
Schering-Plough Corp. is recalling five batches of Vanceril, an inhaled prescription medication for asthma, because some of the canisters may not contain the active drug. Schering warned that the recall “should be considered very serious” because patients using a defective inhaler could be left more vulnerable to asthma attacks. Recalled are five lots of “Vanceril 84 mcg double strength inhalation aerosol convenience packs.”
