Our tax dollars at work. Jerks! My inhalers have gone from $8 to $50.

I have the HFA’S and they do not work well. I’ve had trouble inhaling them during an attack even with careful attention to instructions. Used with the spacer, they are useless.

Hey it worked for the ozone hole once, why not try it again?
Didn’t the scientist refute their own results on the CFCs causing the ozone hole? — after they ran some actual lab experiments? When asked why they didn’t do the experiments in the first place, they said something like, we didn’t think it necessary.
Like DDT before, Liberal hoaxes never die, they just keep on screwing up people’s lives.

Mexico still sells the other inhalers cheap. Of course, border town trips are a bit risky these days. Will stock up again on next vacation farther south. Yet it is ridiculous that it has to be done because of enviro whackos.

You can prolly still get the old style ones in Mexico.

No more chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which damage Earths protective ozone layer. BS!.................We banned CFCs nearly twenty years ago and the "Ozone Hole" is still there, bigger perhaps! The CFC-ozone scam was only to make DuPont richer because the patents were running out on Freon.................

Nebulizer machine works well for me these days...and of course, can't haul one of those around in your pocket. :-(

I don’t know if these are the kind, but there are a new kind asthma inhalers that have proved to be deadly. A friend of mine looked into it after his son went into cardiac arrest and died because of one. :( I could look up the info. if anyone is interested.
To: Red Badger
Isn’t it said that the ozone layer has been known to get bigger and smaller? Not really effected by us.
To: engrpat; OpusatFR; Tarpon
This is going to lead to more deaths from asthma.
The total cost of Environmentalism, as a religion, numbers in the millions, if you include malaria deaths due to the banning of DDT, automobile deaths due to the cafe standards which led to unsafe cars and others that I can't think of now, but have been documented elsewhere.

Why "useless" with the spacer?

>>>>>...................
this ban on inhalers is beyond reason..just increase cost to treat with no benefit to the user.
The world's leaders are not just corrupt they are deranged.

When you squirt an inhaler, don't you actually inhale the mist? How many people are running around just squirting their inhalers up in the air anyway?
This is getting beyond ridiculous.

giving 50 cent prizes for correct answers that cost one dollar to participate: :” It’s a PROFIT deal!!!!!”

So what makes hydrofluoroalkane so expensive? Does the new propellant reset the drug to non-generic status? Either way, it sounds like BS.
To: engrpat
While the hydrofluoroalkane propellant may be “eco-friendly” how long before some study shows it to be harmful to humans. We saw this with the government mandate adding MTBE to gasoline to save the planet only to find it was a serious health and environmental hazard.

I over used an albuterol inhaler and it put me in the hospital with an irregular heartbeat. Had to have my heart shock back into normal rhythm.
