Date:12/10/2008

MENLO PARK, Calif., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the broader public discussion around asthma sparked by the FDA's examination of the commonly prescribed asthma drugs Advair, Symbicort, Serevent and Foradil, Dr. Philip Marcus, Chief, Division of Pulmonary Medicine, St. Francis Hospital, and Dr. James Wolfe, of Allergist, Allergy and Asthma Associates of Northern California, are available to discuss exhaled nitric oxide monitoring as an essential addition to asthma treatment, specifically as it regards the proper prescription of inhaled corticosteroids for asthma management.
