Generic Albuterol Asthma Inhalers no longer available in USA after Dec 31, 2008
Asthma Inhalers are Changing!
After December 31, 2008 generic albuterol inhalers will not longer be available for sale in the United States. New replacement inhalers will be available.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will ban the use of ozone-depleting propellants called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in many inhalers effective December 31, 2008.
This is a result of an international treaty designed to eliminate ozone-depleting chemicals that will have a positive effect on our environment, and will ultimately benefit lung health. But the transition to a new type of inhaler can be difficult and even confusing.
BREATHE LA encourages you to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure a safe transition from your current chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) inhaler to a non-ozone depleting replacement inhaler.

Price of Asthma Inhalers
I agree with you on the "greed" part of your comment. My husband relies on a rescue inhaler and now we get to choose him being able to breathe or groceries. We fall into that income category where you make twice as much as those minimum poverty guidelines so you're expected to pay 4 times as much for everything. Some days I am so discouraged about what we're going to be faced with in years to come. This wasn't my "American Dream". Big Medicine in this country is killing us all. Funny - the worldl used to hold America up on a pedistool. Our healthcare system is in the toilet!
