Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.

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. When you go to the doctor for a refill...as for something that does not have ethanol in it...we do not need it in our lungs. We cannot breath the way it is

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks
they used to use as a propellant is being
phased out because of political pressure
concerning the ozone layer. I think that
the new propellant is carbon dioxide. With thye carbon dioxide propellant the alcohol makes Albuterol atomize better
i think. Merck and company has been accused of using politics to stay in control the refrigurant market- don't know if
this is so or not. The alcohol is a slight
irritant to my lungs as well. The Freon
worked better.
that uses liquid Albuterol. I have a Nebulizer. Portable ones are battery powered and are getting smaller. Perhaps Merck and company need to be made to supply them if they are sure that Freon destroys the ozone layer. Maybe we need to put some political pressure on them to make them do it.
previous post. I meant DuPont.
DuPont makes refrigurant.
own schedules I think.
It is NOT a replacement for Advair. It is albuterol for people that need rescue inhalers. It is the same medicine but a different propellant. GramsG says it has ethanol (alcohol)which is inhaled and might give you a burning feeling as it did for her, but it is worth trying before we are stuck with this thing (while the old albuterol inhalers are still on the shelf). Know what I mean? GramsGard did I get this right? :-)
