Flawed Unit-emergency!

Updated

Please: I'm currently on my 4th Asthmanefrin unit, the local stores have exchanged it so far. Now I can't breathe and the unit won't work. I have the racepinephrine liquid refills but no way to get it into my system. Any suggestions for middle-of-the-night/emergency delivery methods??

It doesn't matter how you clean it; this is a flawed product that only works for 1-4 months.

Hello, Destined! How are you doing?

If you're breathing gets so bad that you are in emergency status, you should call 911 for assistance.

As to the Asthmanefrin, since this is an over the counter product, you will likely have better luck if you contact the manufacturer about the issues. They list a contact number as 855-999-3926.

Do you have any prescription products you use for your asthma?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I made it through that night and someone exchanged the unit for me in the morning. My prescription for albuterol never arrived, never was even filled; just a glitch I guess. I pretty much learned quickly online that the racepinephrine has to be delivered as a mist. I was about ready to try it as steam, in a pot on the stove.

Asthmanefrin is a better option than nothing (over-the-counter), but not as good as Primatene mist, simply because the unit is prone to failure. They had something like 35 years to design a better delivery method, and this was the best they could do?

Peace & Prayers,
~D

Try the nebulizer at clinical guard . com - the medicine cup fits the asthmanefrin base and mine has lasted over a month so far. I must have bought 50 Asthmanefrin medicine cups at least - yes, it's a waste, but the medicine works much better than albuterol for me. The clinicalguard unit, think it's HF100, is cleaned only with distilled water, it has a clean cycle, and so far I'm very happy with it.
