References on why CFC medical inhalers should not be banned

My Story:
The first time I tried the new “environmentally friendly” inhalers it didn’t work well. I kept having breathing problems and called my doctor several times. Finally she said since the dosage was smaller than the MDI (banned CFC) she told me to double the dosage… which I did since she was a doctor and must know right? Within seconds I was grabbing my chest and fell to the floor. Luckily I was able to call for an ambulance. In the emergency room the doctors did not want to classify it as a heart attack. Instead they called it over dosage. Off the record the respiratory therapist told me I wasn’t the only one who had responded the way I did to the new formula. Since than I’m using any MDI I can find and just waiting until they run out.

Didn’t want to bring anyone down but this is really important to me and I appreciate if you have a few minutes.

Albuterol HFA - What the hell?

Comment:

Toni Smith:
I am right there with you. I have COPD. I have been on albuteral for 16 years. Recently they switched me to ProAir HFA. They say it's the same thing! Bull Shit!!! I pay 40.99 with my insurance for this piece of shit. My albuteral was 7.00. If the albuteral is bad for the environment, doesn't it make sense it's bad for your lungs as well. I think we should sue the pants off the makers of this. It does not work!!!

Nancy:
We need a choice!! I tried the new HFA inhaler and am still having problems from only five days of miserable use. It also tastes like hell and I had to use Prednisone from the breathing problems Proventil HFA caused me - it is toxic and this is bull....! When is the class action suit going to be filed because there needs to be one and I want to join. People will die from this new one and we need to cause enough pressure to bring the old one back!! The only thing cared about is the money here, not our lives!!
