Oh Goodie the eco-morons have already taken the Nasacort inhaler off the market. The alternative is the nasal spray version going down the throat wasted and not nearly as effective.

These are the same people that will be jumping on the idiotic California crapola that SHS causes asthma bandwagon.........tough luck.




WOW!! You're hard-core! LOL But, as we've said MANY times-wait until they get to taking away something YOU want or need.

I have encountered the problem of having to use the albuterol inhaler a bit more often than normal during a given month. I've gone to the pharmacy to buy another, and was told the insurance company would not pay for it because they said I should only use a certain number of puffs in a certain number of days.

Buy one each month whether or not you use it. Stockpile if you can. Granted the insurance company limiting the number puffs from the {rescue inhaler} is insane. A couple of months ago I was having to juggle Flovent, Combivent, and Singular. They paid for two out of three of my choice.

You might want to hesitate before casting that "idiot" stone. :-)

Not where you're concerned. Please give me a detailed analysis of what happens to inhaled CFCs. I'm sure it won't be hard for such a genius as yourself to prove that they come out in exactly the same amount and exactly the same composition as they went in.

Yes, I've been told that also....but, I'm not an asthmatic, luckily. (Although Docs tried to say I was....but, then they try to say LOTS of stuff I find idiotic, at times.)

I thought I didn't till I read the clinical description which differs from what most persons see it as being. I've had it a long time and didn't know it. An exposure to black mold over the summer pushed it over the edge.

I've had asthma for 30 years and always used Primatene until the doctors got a hold of me. They had me on so many medications and inhalers I needed a goody bag to carry it all around. And my asthma got worse, couldn't even get off the couch without wheezing. I finally threw it all in the trash, went out and bought my Primatene and it's controlled it just fine. I only use it about once or twice a month now and I haven't had an attack in over 10 years, except for three aspirin induced attacks.

When you have a beast crouching on your chest, sucking all your air away, you could care less about the ozone layer.

You cannot do a damn thing about the ban except for ineffectual ranting.

They have small nebulizers on the market now - little portable ones and the medication for these is relatively inexpensive once the cost of the nebulizer itself has been covered. They are also covered by Medicare I believe although I paid for mine.

I use albuterol and advair but I have severe emphysema...and I think I am going to "graduate" to the small nebulizer for delivery next. I love the nebulizers but the larger machine made life inconvenient...the small portable one is going to be a welcome addition to my world.

It's not that so much - I'm just tired of all these busybodies.
