  • I am an American physician living in Tacloban since June 2014. My email is cphil49401@aol.com. I would like to know two things. Why is there only one digoxin pill for the nation - a 0.25 mg pill made by Aspen which needs on most patients to be broken in half to get the 0.125 mg size but that is crumbs? And since there is no strip pack - a white pill with no label could kill a child in an overdose. Next, why does the Del Monte Italian spagetti sauce lie that there is only parmason cheese "flavor" when online there is cheese. My daughter's lip swelled up do to this lie - mirrored by the fact that they say no cholesterol which is impossible. This product could kill children here and in India when it is not labeled carefully for the main allergens - milk, soy, peanuts, etc. It would fall back to the FDA to regulate honesty.
