Importation of Lactose Free Long Acting Beta-2 Agonist Inhalers Lynda Mitchell, M.A. Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK)

Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK) Current Situation Cow’s milk allergy affects over 4.6 million in the U.S. Asthma affects over 20 million in the U.S. NAEPP guidelines for certain classifications of asthma recommend the use of long acting beta- 2 agonist inhalers for optimal management

Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK) Current Situation Lactose-free long acting beta 2 agonist inhalers are no longer available in the U.S.; they have been replaced with CFC-free diskus inhalers that contain lactose and trace milk protein that some severely milk allergic asthmatics cannot use The same manufacturers still produce the lactose free inhalers versions of these inhalers for the Canadian market

Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK) Current Alternatives Receive sub-optimal asthma treatment that is not in conformance with NAEPP best practice recommendations Purchase lactose free inhalers illegally and out of pocket from Canada that are the same as the ones previously available in the U.S.

Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK) Solution In situations such as this, where a drug previously FDA approved as safe and effective is no longer available in the U.S. but is available in Canada, importation should be legal, allowable and reimbursable just as when that drug was available in the U.S. market.
