AURORA, Colo. — An asthma medication that thousands of people rely upon, including children, hasn't been available in pharmacies across Colorado since the beginning of the year. Now, doctors at Children's Hospital Colorado are beginning to see the impacts from its loss.
"It was kind of something we realized, maybe around in Kindergarten," Osborne said."I noticed at her soccer practice, you know, they were all gathered to talk all the kids in the coaches and you know, all the other kids were just kind of sitting there like normal and Franny, I could tell was still like, you know, really still trying to catch her breath."
It's not just a problem Osborne and her family have had. Doctor's at Children's Colorado have spent months trying to help other families find solutions. "We are spending hours trying to do the right thing and the poor families and the children are going without medications and their asthma is not as well controlled," Dr. Federico said."It's so frustrating," she said, adding it's also been a matter of trying to find an alternative that's in stock at pharmacies near her, and finding ones covered by her insurance.
