Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns

Weekly Standard ^

[Carry_Okie]

Somebody's smoking something...

... but I didn't inhale!

[sometime lurker]

I am not saying I support the PC switch on environmental grounds. I am saying that Primatene is a poor asthma drug that should have been off the market a long time ago.

I am not saying I support the PC switch on environmental grounds. I am saying that Primatene is a poor asthma drug that should have been off the market a long time ago.

I must not have made myself clear. The switch was on political grounds (both PC and crony capitalism) under the false flag of saving the ozone hole.

And I'm saying while Primatene mist has it limitations, but has worked well for many with asthma.

As you probably know, not all meds work for, or are appropriate for everybody. Remember in the ER you would have seen only those for whom it was not appropriate or did not work.

...Seriously, there should be some research on how much worth replacing the kind of asthma inhalers you are thinking of is worth it.

You’ll take the Albuterol out of my cold dead hands. (Sadly not much of an exaggeration. One can die of an asthma attack, although none of mine have been anywhere that bad.)

It’s going to take vigilance and a lot of work..

[Impy]

I make occasional use of Primatine Mist. I have neither the need nor money for a prescription. This is a conspiracy. I’m pretty sure this was decided in 2008 though, before Obama.

G-damn elected bureaucrats shouldn’t get to make this call.
