now called libromide - same product but it is more expensive.

millophylline is not really indicated now as newer drugs are far more effective. It used to be used for heart failure too, but has been made obsolete by drugs such as ACEi.

we're having a problem - was probably going to use corvental, but as a low income clinic and only one client needing it, we're looking for alternatives.

We have so many drugs now we use that are unavailable:
KBR,
AUREOMYCIN
to name two more.....
I wish drug companies wouldn't suddenly stop their products. It's hard enough persuading owners to part with money for their drugs, but to have to change them to dearer ones is next to impossible.

Corvetol very expensive, think what we're using is Uniphyllin.

Not used millophyline for ages but corventol is from same group of drugs I think?
