I wish they’d let asthmatics buy albuterol inhalers without a prescription.

There is now a replacement for Primetine Mist: Asthmanefrin

Good to know, but that's epinephrine, which has many cardiovascular side effects, unlike albuterol, which has virtually none and acts almost exclusively in the lungs. It amazes me that they'll allow adrenaline over-the-counter, but an inocuous drug like albuterol requires a prescription. I suppose that's because no one in his right mind would want the worse of the two choices.
