Dear Readers,
Many of you have shown interest in a post about Primatene Mist that I published some time ago.I wanted to update you on the situation so that you can take the necessary measures to safeguard your health.Primatene Mist is the only asthma inhaler presently available over the counter.
Unfortunately,in accordance with FDA rules,Primatene Mist,as currently formulated with a CFC that damages the earth's protective ozone layer,must be removed from U.S. shelves by December 31,2011.The product's maker,Armstrong Pharmaceuticals,is arranging to produce a non-CFC form of the asthma inhaler,but will have to submit it for FDA approval.That means there will probably be a doughnut hole period when you will not be able to purchase this popular asthma medication in the U.S.How long this will last is anyone's guess.
In the meantime,patients will have to obtain a prescription for another inhaler.Yes,a prescription will perhaps be more expensive-especially unwelcome in these troubled economic times.At this point,the medication is still being advertised for online purchase.
Sincerely,
Andrew Taylor

We have been trying to keep up to date on the latest with this new regulation. Primatene Mist has been flying off of the shelves since the announcement was made. This is going to be costly for those who do not have health insurance (or good health insurance). This is a promotional post; however, we wanted to let people know where they could still get it at an affordable cost. We have compared prices from numerous retailers here:

Thank you for allowing us to post and good luck to those who use it. This legislation, regardless of intent (which we are not going to debate) is going cost more for some consumers.
