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.
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.................
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.
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.
AS Steve Martin’s Navin Johnson said, when he realized that his “guess your weight” concession at the carnival was
giving 50 cent prizes for correct answers that cost one dollar to participate: :” It’s a PROFIT deal!!!!!”
Some of those inhalers such as Flovent cost $150
So what makes hydrofluoroalkane so expensive? Does the new propellant reset the drug to non-generic status? Either way, it sounds like BS.
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.
What in the???
I thought the ozone hole had been fixed? Don't tell me I've been driving around in my 1980 Chrysler Cordoba pulling a 30 foot tandem axle for nothing.
This is the kind of news that makes me go to the SuperFresh, buy 8 sleeves of styrofoam cups and run them over in the parking lot.

Yep, and yet, across the river from the area where we live the smoke stacks at the paper mill pump out white smoke 24/7 but surely those asthma inhalers are much more sinister than that place. Now we know what the haze around L.A. is, all those asthma inhalers are the culprits.
The force of delivery is less so the delivery of medicine into an obstructed breathing passage is not the same. There are peanut and corn-based components as well. These are asthma triggers for some. Drug companies could care less because they get a new patent and can charge premium price. A portable nebulizer may be the only recourse for some. This is lunacy.
Great. More deaths coming due to Greenism.
the democrats are always helping po’ folks .
/s
I hate these damn things. They really don’t help me as well as the old ones do, and I end up having to drag out the nebulizer machine and/or inject myself with epinephrine. There are going to be some lawsuits after a few asthma patients die.
I cannot believe that a few million asthma patients occasionally using an inhaler can seriously impact the environment.
My Albuterol inhalers went from the $10 co-pay list on my prescription plan with my insurance to the $50 co-pay list.
After talking with my doctor and pharmacist, I switched to Levalbuterol (brand name Xopenex), which is on my $10 co-pay list.
Since I usually refill this scrip 4 or 5 times a year, this is saving me several hundred dollars.
Just an FYI for those facing a similar circumstance.
This is going to cost $$$$ in increased ER usage, and also LIVES. Disgusting. These people will be sacrificed to the worship of Gaia....
And of course we the sheep bitch, moan, complain and do....nothing.
