Title: Zoflo
Post by gnbailey on 10/29/12 at 05:30:20

Have any of you been placed on Zoflo instead of Singulair? My LA allergist is thinking about doing this.....but I am not confident that he has a clue about MACS.

Gn:
I was on Zyflo for approx 4 years, as I orginally thought singulair wasn't working for me. When what I really needed was a mast cell stabilizier. I switched back to singulair only because it had less inactive ingrediants which I worry about 2 years ago. It should cost a lot more considering singulair has gone generic is a big down side.

Thanks Mike! Yes, I agree, the pregelatanized starch in the Zyflo is a problem for me. I think that is what I reacted to in the name brand of Allegra. I can take the generic that doesn't have the starch in it. I think I might just have to stick with the Singulair.

I am on a mast cell stabilizer - Gastrocrom. But I think I am starting to feel better since starting Ketotifen a month ago! :)
