Albuterol vs ProAir

I know they have taken albuterol inhalers off the market. I was recently on a site where over a thousand people signed a petition and wrote a note...Albuterol works...ProAir has ethanol in it and is making some peoples lungs burn.

" I have been asked not to post the petition link here.

I assume it is acceptable to tell people that they can find the petition to save CFC inhalers (that tkengle referred to) no googling "dave CFC" and the petition pops up at the toip of the list.

" i've always used proair since i was diagnosed 2 yrs ago so i have nothing to compare it to. it seems to not work as well now as it did and i have to use more(4-8 puffs) to stop my attacks. i wil ask my doctor to change me to something else...i just don't know what. it's all albuterol( except xopenex) so i don't know why it's work differently??

" I HAVE BEEN ON BOTH ALBUTEROL INHAILERS AND ALBUTEROL FOR NEBULIZERS . WHEN THE ALBUTEROL INHAILERS WENT OFF THE MARKET , I FOUND MY DOCTOR GIVING ME PROAIR HFA AND IT BURNING MY LUNGS. I DO NOT REFILL IT COS IT BURNS MY LUNGS. BUT I NEED AN INHAILER. I THINK ALBUTEROL WAS BETTER.
