Title: Not CH related but important
Post by andy on Nov 4^th, 2007, 5:29pm

Any of you that has to use an MDI inhaler for breathing problems. (ALBUTEROL, ATROVENT, FLOVENT, etc.) Does the new stuff work for you? It does not do squat for me.

Please sign this petition to give us back the stuff that works not this crap that's "safe" for the ozone and does not work.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT A LIFE-SAVING DRUG HAS BEEN BANNED BY THE FDA FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RATHER THAN FOR LEGITIMATE MEDICAL REASONS!

THE FDA ADMITS THAT THE IMPACT OF CFC MEDICAL INHALERS ON THE DEPLETION OF THE OZONE LAYER IS "FAIRLY SMALL":

Thanks,
andy

Ohforcripesake, are they fucking serious??? If Jesse's Albuterol no longer works because the FDA screwed with the formula, we are screwed. :(

Thanks Andy. I'm glad you brought this to our attention. Jesse has severe asthma, worse than his mom had, and she died from an attack back in 1993 when he was 18. I'm not ready, nor will I ever be, to lose my husband!

Several years ago, after trying many allergy meds and shots I used Rhinocort. It was finally the answer but they changed the formula a few years ago, it's now called Rhinocort Aqua and comes in a pump bottle. It does nothing and when I told the doctor he said same formula, shouldn't be an issue. Well a few months later, studies showed it was not as effective for most people. I sure hope they can bring these meds back. It is so hard to finally find something and not be able to get it. Grab what you can now!! Mine stayed around about 6 months then it was nowhere to be found.
