A member asked:
Why is amlexanox prescribed for asthma in japan but not here in the us?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pharma decision: Studies with Amlexanox in treating asthma including Aspirin sensitive asthma have been published in japanese medical journals since 1989. I suspect a pharmaceutical company is not confident enough to perform studies in the U.S. To satisfy the fda (food and drug administration). It is very expensive to bring a drug to market.
