(Revised February 11, 2021)
Due to disturbing
testimonies from the 13.5K+ members of our corn allergy support groups
confirming that medical professionals continue to administer dextrose-containing
IV fluids to corn-allergic patients in direct violation of the contraindication
warning on the package insert, I am concerned that medical students are not
being adequately educated about the dangers of NMIs (non-medicinal ingredients)
in drugs. In addition, I have read too
many personal testimonies confirming that physicians continue to prescribe
medications to corn-allergic patients that contain corn-derived ingredients
even though their allergy to corn is clearly documented in their medical records.
