I am allergic to sulfas. All the other Albuterol preparations contain sulfas. A xopenex inhaler is not as effective. Serevent and Atrovent can make an attack worse for many. There is really no substitute for Albuterol USP in a pocket inhaler. It is stupid to imagine that the samll number of asthmatics, 21 million out of 300 million will destroy the atmosphere with their little inhalers. let them pick on cows. They give off more atmosphere destroying gas than we do. Protest before it is too late. Write officials and let them know the danger.

I would be $1000 a month to be symptom free. i am constantly short of breath from chronic lung disease that doesn’t get better with inhalers. I would be $1000 a month to be symptom free.
