Just wanted to remind y'all that all CFC's, are being phased out, and the FDA anticipates the supply to be critically low, soon. The FDA ruling also denied producing or selling CFC's after 12/2008.

Ask your doc to write you a new rx for "albuterol HFA and your pharmacist will use one of the three HFA's I mentioned. The other catch is albuterol HFA's are more expensive, so may affect your co-pay. Supplies are running low, so changing over now would make things easier. Just thought y'all should know. Big Love...
