| 1 | Asthma | Great, they got rid of CFC to be replaced by stuff like this. Bad environmental policy, bad product replacement, much more costly, Poor design, and the drug companies are making windfall profits from this. I am trying to find an alternative, with little luck. This HFA for Albuteral is not working. | M | 53 | 14 days | 10/24/2007 | 1 | Asthman | Wheezing, dry mouth, did not help asthma | I have been taking Warrick's Albuterol inhaler for 20 years. I am also on singular and other steroid inhalers. When I heard that they were replacing Albuterol, I was upset but decided to give it a try. I tried proair - piece of crap. Then my doctor put me on Proventil - OMG this medicine sucks, and it does not stop an asthma attack. How can this be a replacement when it doesn't work? Do not take this medicine - you have to take more puffs than Albuterol to even get an effect and then you get all jittery and dizzy. I hate this medicine. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 10/17/2007 | 1 | asthma | I have used the old albuterol inhaler for 20+ years with no trouble at all. This new one gets clogged with every use and is horrible! I had to run tothe drugstore for a replacement during an attack because it would not work, despite the fact that it was 3 days old. | I am upset that I have to pay 3 times as much for the same medicine. I am happy that is CFC free, but it is far less superior! I am worried about having a bad attack for the first time in years! This is appalling! | F | 34 | 6 months | 8/28/2007 | 2 | Asthma | dry mouth, lung discomfort, cxhest pain, sore throats. | I would not recommend this product to anyone. I have used the old albuterol inaler for 17 years with no difficulties, now I am concerned that this "new" inhaler that we are being forced to use as a replacement will fail me. I have never been so concerned and had to pay so much for such a crappy product. I was very disappointed to find out they were swithching our products now I am even more pissed that they traded our good product that saves lives to such a crappy product. Way to go drug companies. | F | 20 | 3 months | 8/14/2007 | 1 | Asthma | Lingering discomfort/pain in chest, rapid heart palpitations, worsening of asthma (having to use this 4-5 times a day when the old inhalers I only had to use once a day, TOPS!!!) | Are you kidding me? Is this a freaking joke? WTF is this sh!t? This is not a "rescue" inhaler but a lawsuit waiting to happen. Did I seriously just pay TRIPLE what I used to pay for something that is barely 1/4 as effective as the old CFC-based Albuterol inhalers? No. This has to be some kind of nightmare. Someone pinch me before I personally annihilate the US FDA. I can't believe they're getting away with this - FORCING us to do away with a VITAL life-saving medication that worked and replacing it with this POISON. I never thought I would have to revert back to when I was a small child and always worrying about whether or not I will DIE from an asthma attack. | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 6/17/2007 | 1 | Asthma | The HFA inhalers don't work properly. See www.myspace.com/nohfa | F | 24 | 20 days | 5/16/2007 | 2 | Asthma | Slight dry mouth | This medicine simply did not work for me. I have used any and all variations of albuterol without any trouble, but this did nothing to help me breathe. I would not reccomend this to anyone with severe or moderate asthma. | F | 22 | 1 months | 4/29/2005 |
