My Reactions:

Two drug officials have concluded that there are at least four hugely popular Asthma drugs which may cause risk death. These drugs are usually used in asthmatic diseases. The research indicates that these ingredients should not be used by people age 17 and under.

There are many reasons why caused Asthma such as directly infected by parents, the weather, medicines, mental pressure, and so on. Even some of them will become allergic of some kind of foods and things. However, Advair, Symbicort, Serevent, and Foradil are the most effective drugs which are used prevalently to cure Asthma.

In today’s medicines, many of them are produced by Steroids and Antibiotics. As a result, they will cause burden to organs seriously but they are easy to use and have obviously effects when used to cure patients. Although these ingredients are useful, they also easy to harm our body and bring a lot of side effects. I think the technology is well developed and we can use it to discover new medicine or to make them by ourselves. It’s necessary to find a new way to provide little side-effect drugs for patients. Therefore, we can cure them in a faster way to decrease the expense of wasting resources. (233 words)
