Sorry Cindy,

Just realized that what you called the generic name is what we call effective or working substance of the medicine.

Azmacort are unknown but I found 6 different drugs with the same effective substance. All these drugs are used for eczema or problems with your nose and belongs to the "cortisone" group.

I'm all ready using a drug (Rhinocort Aqua), it's a nose spray of the same main category. It has an other effective substance but belongs to the same main group. It has a very "light" effect. I think I've used it for my bunged up nose/sinus totally maybe for 3 months during the last four years.

Salmeterol (Serevent), that Perry talked about is an asthma medicin, accepted by the the Olympic commite in an inhalater form. It belongs to a so called beta-2-agonist group. A medicin used for "exert" related asthma.

Perry told about a drug called "Tilade", I haven't found anything about it anywhere.

Thank you very much for you help, and sorry about my missunderstanding.
