COPD is manageable, but not necessarily considered to be terminal. I never heard that it was by anyone.
Indeed.
I have slight COPD. On rare occasions I have had to use an Albuterol inhaler.

It feels a bit like that mysterious 'they' are still trying to kill off all the asthmatics 'they' have created with 'their' wild ideas and chemicals. Remember when 'they' put the full-court press on Primatene Mist? 'They' are evil.

ObamaCare will save the average American $2500/yr in savings claimed a previous President. My premiums went up immediately and coverage went down. Insurance and pharmaceutical companies profits went UP. Drug companies have become monopolies on life saving drugs holding the American people hostage while other countries pay way less for the same drug. Enough is enough.

I did. I knew you weren’t really Karine, just my own lame attempt at humor.

Yep- even with ivermectin- overseas, it cost very very little to purchase- Here it is quite expensive- Drug manufacturers are ‘legal thieves’ when it comes to certain drugs they are severely overcharging for- The Epi Pen is a classic example

I use an albuterol inhaler for my asthma. This is not good. I have five inhalers stocked up though.
I looked on my inhaler and it is made by Lupin. I think this company made stuff for hospital use.
To: Radix
Google links say so.
Every one I checked at least.
( along with my doctor. who diagnosed me. )
Hope you’re right though.

IMO, people with asthma bad enough to be in the hospital need it more than I do. I want the kids to get it first but, Albuterol is Albuterol. If it’s in short supply, it’s in short supply. It’s one of the few meds I trust, and it keeps me off of the steroid inhalers. My asthma is mostly seasonal, and I use as needed. That’s how I get so many hoarded. There are people out there that can die without it.

Albuterol is now generic and given the demand there should be several manufacturers. I wonder how much government red tape or even corruption is keeping a monopoly?
