The federal government is forcing Primatene Mist, the sole asthma inhaler that is available over-the-counter, off the market.
The announcement was made March 15.
Is it because it doesn't work? No.
Is it because it is dangerous to health? No.
So why?
It's because it uses chlorofluorocarbons to propel the medicine into one's throat and as any mis-educated twit fast-tracked in the federal bureaucracy knows chlorofluorocarbons, even in the small amount used by asthma inhalers, offends Gaia; and oh my Tea Party friends Gaia must not be offended.

All part of the freeloading enviroloonies trying to justify their gubmint grants.
These people need to be purged (yes I said purged) from government service. It's a real shame.
The last package I bought said it would be available through the end of the year. Is that still the case, or is this effective immediately?
Dec. 31 is the last day it will be sold.
I think the CFC’s are a cover story. The statists don’t like anyone treating anything over-the-counter, outside of their glorious system.
insanity spreads
Good. Still time to stock up.
but “prescribing” pot to kids inside a “pot shop” is okay with the same people?
Stock up.
I wonder if they couldn’t sell Primatene with one of those inhalers that you pump by hand? It would seem simple enough to change over. Although I suppose first you would have to go through a 12-year permission process by the federal regulators.
Environmentalists make good compost.
Pointing out such things is very impolite.
sorry about that. :p
Stupid question, but if an asthmatic person happens to have an attack and does not have a prescription, could the lack of access to this product be life-threatening?
Why is ANYONE complying with the wishes of these leftist vermin? The lack of immediate availability of beta-agonist inhalers could lead to the deaths of thousands, mostly young children.
The next environmentalist I meet will be asked this simple question “do you support the banning of over-the-counter inhalers?”
If IT answers with a “yes” then IT will be beaten to a bloody pulp and ITS open wounds will be filled with trash and urine. The rat will be left to die slowly and none may ever come to its aid without receiving the same treatment.
This is a promise!
Anyone who puts a child within 10 feet of a leftist should be buried alive in a deep grave.
Sounds like you have a kid with asthma.

I agree with you 100% ,, fortunately other countries aren’t run by the EPA ,, I would think online drugstores outside the USA would be glad to have your business.
