I have been taking this medication for 3 years for pulnmonary fibrosis and it is definitely helping contain the progressiveness of the disease. I am now experiencing a severe problem with availability of this drug. Is it being discontinued or another drug replacing it? I am very concerned about this situation!

I am a moderate to severe asthmatic down to 55% breathing capibilities at 31 yrs of age. After 3 months of use I am now up to 85%. I was recently off this product for 5 straight days and I had a major asthma attack 2 days ago. I rushed to get a refill of my script as I was out of town an within about 4 hrs of taking this I was in better shape along with my inhalor. I am very glad to be on this product.
