Re: propellant in albuterol

[Guest guest]

The manufactorer stopped making albuterol. Atleast that's what my pharmacy told me and switched me to ventolin. wrote: Matt,I have a question for you. I just refilled an albuterol last week andit looks just like the old one and appears to be generic albuterol. Does this pharmacy just still have some in stock? My son's Advair saysAdvair HFA on the label, but this albuterol doesn't say HFA anywhere. Will the HFA be part of the label? Also, is there any differencebetween the old

albuterols with the CFC propellant and the new ones withthe HFA propellant? I've heard some patients say they don't think thenew one works the same, but I'm assuming the company making it wouldhave to prove it works like the old one. Just curious.Thanks,

Personally, I don't think the new ProAir (revised Albuterol) works

nearly as well as the original. Not only that, but it is no longer

considered a generic since it has a new name so it costs me twice as

much money My doctor said I am not her only asthma patient who has

told her ProAir isn't as effective. Original Albuterols are still

available until the end of 2008 - if you can find them.

Most likely old stock. IT should say HFA on the label when you get

them with HFA in them however I could be wrong. I keep hearing that

the new HFA inhalers are not as good. Not sure why, its not the

propellant that opens the airway.

I am using this switch to educate asthmatics on the need for a fast

acting inhalers. Those who are using it too much and are upset about

the new inhalers, I will talk to them about using maintenance

medications first. Maintenance meds are used to stop asthma before

it happens as opposed to using a rescue inhaler to stop an attack

after it happens.

Im on the proventil HFA and have the same problem , it dont work as well as the original. They gave me a spacer with it but its not the same shape for the inhaler to go in right ! I hate it and wish we could have the old stuff back as it works!!!! I have begun to use my nebulize more than my inhaler it works better anyways! I hope they find out soon why the ones with the new propellant doesnt work as well and fix the problem!

I'm glad people have said they don't think it works that well. Having only just been diagnosed, I have nothing to compare it to. I have the Ventolin evohaler. Also, I've noticed some people mentioning about peak flow readings going into the red - what is this? Jenn Hill Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me.

I use the new Proventil inhalers and they make me throw up everytime. Even using a spacer. I never had that problem with generic ones.

I am on another list for people with breathing problems and a lot of

people use 'alldaychemist.com' to get their albuterol inhalers.

I, also feel that that the pro-air is not as effective and my inhaler

got stuck and dysfunctional after only a few uses.

I agree completely about the Xoponex. However, Pro Air works great

for me. Maybe because Xopenex didn't work at all for me and Pro Air

is a large improvement! My dr. originally put me on Xopenex since I

have WPW, but we decided that a few heart palpitations was better

than not being able to breathe.

Xopenex works much better for me than Proventil. I was told the

propellants in Proventil were not environmentally friendly and not

good for asthma. I was put on Xopenex and have had better success

though nothing seems to ease my symptoms 100%.

I was told the HFA WAS ecofriendly? Thats why they changed the albuterol to the HFA. It has NOT helped my asthma as well as the original tho, I will be talking to my drs about the Xopenex But im not sure i can get it as i use the PPA for low income ppl!
