If there are other good reasons presumably that FDA committee was free to use them. On the other hand, they seem to be taking the action based on non-demonstrable linkage between inhalers and the ozone-hole over the Antarctic.

That's why I'm asking how many asthmatics there were on the committee ~ the next question is "why"?

On the face of it the FDA committee's recommendations seem to have been fraudulently developed and proposed.

I have no idea what went into it, but if the committee members were asthmatics and medical professionals, they might see it as a way to protect other asthmatics against a bad drug. There’s a reason that doctors, asthmatic or not, don’t recommend the stuff. Asthmatics on the committee wouldn’t change that.

I also know that albuterol and other changed their propellant system to comply with regulations. I wonder why Primatine couldn’t do the same.
