Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Can anyone recommend Zyflo ? Does it make a noticable difference ? It is available now...it appears to be expensive with my insurance (2X any other prescription I have) and 4 tablets/day is a pain so I want to make sure it's useful.
