If you have never taken it then you would be suitable to be screened for the study. Thanks for getting in touch.

Hi there, Fortuantely I don't have asthma but one of my parents do. She has I think symptomatic asthma and uses two asthma puffers when needed. I don't think she takes any steroid type medications. Also she has Hepatitis C. Would she still be eligable for the study. I could ask if she wants to participate.... I just thought that I would find out first... Thanks!

Hi there, Thanks for your enquiry. I have checked with our doctor and unfortunately the Hep C would exclude your parent. Cheers,
