Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai Corporation gets a lot of credit for their very successful heartburn and ulcer drug. This proton pump inhibitor has helped millions of people across the world live a more comfortable life, and, more remarkably, has done so with no overdose, addiction, or any of the things that make a drug so potentially dangerous.

The FDA studies that tested the safety of the drug in adults and adolescents were merely 12-week trials, so this does not mean that the potential risks are limited to what they say if you exceed the 12-week period. Studies have been done up to 1 year that have not shown any other serious threats to health. However, a 3 year long study showed that signs of vitamin B12 deficiency may be linked.However, while we do not know the risks of taking the drug for 12 years, we do know that many people have taken the drug far longer than the suggested length of treatment and have not suffered any other problems on record.

Made by Schering-Plough Corporation this medication is presented in a special inhaler and is supposed to be used once or two time everyday depending on your condition.In the normal course, air passes in and out of your lungs without any problem through the air passages. But when you are a victim of asthma, the inner linings of your air passages become swollen or inflamed making the airways.

The constriction and the mucous in the airways make the air passages very narrow such that the victim finds it difficult to breathe. Now Asmanex being a steroid goes directly into the lungs when used and helps to reduce the inflammation that is the main cause for an attack of asthma.The benefit of using Asmanex is that when inhaled the medicine in the inhaler goes straight into the lungs so...more
