Drugs that cause lung disease
Hello All, I just received an e-mail from GOOD- RX with a list of meds that cause lung disease. You can Google 'Good Rx drugs that cause lung disease', and it should take you right to it. One example: Macrobid, taken for UTI's (urinary tract infections) is a big offender. I am not going to list all of the meds, but you may want to check it out to make sure you are not on any of them. Probably short term use of some of these are ok, but many statin drugs were on the list, and those are taken over a life time. Some probabilities of getting lung disease from medications ranged from minimal chance to greater chance. Just thought you might want to know.
