Re: xolair retail price / metallic taste?

[Guest guest]

i've never had the metallic taste that you've mentioned -- i do however get it

from the biaxin (which i take every day, and have for 5 years or so). i know its

the biaxin b/c its a listed side effect and the nights i forget the biaxin,

there is no funky taste.

hope the metallic taste goes away for you!!

asthma is clearly better so we are continuing it indefinitely. I think he had to

fill in a form and send it to the government. No approval really needed as it

was his decision.
