I Just Found Out The Fda Pulled Asthmanefrin Off The Shelves (Page 5)

Updated

I've been sitting here crying because the pharmacist just told me that AsthmaNefrin was taken off the market. I look on the internet and it's been recalled by the FDA because it has caused chest pain and has many complaints. This decision by the FDA will kill people like me because I get a paradoxical reaction to Albuterol and Levalbuterol. They work completely different. Different drug. If I go to the emergency because I can't breathe, they save me with ephinephrine, the same drug that AsthmaNefrin is. And look in any drug book, Albuterol and Levalbuterol has worse side-effects than Epinephrine. I have to have my rescue inhaler with me everyday. The Primatene tablets are horrible, causing extreme anxiety and don't mix with my antidepressant. I was on cortisone for years and now I can't tolerante at all. I've stayed healthy and my lungs are good using Singulair and AsthaNefrin. Singulair can't stop an asthma attack. This is really going to ruin my life! What am I going to do?

Great news!! Amphastar, the maker of the discontinued Primatene Mist, says on their website that a reformulated Primatene Mist is coming on the market soon! If true this is incredible news. I have a zero co-pay for the albuterol prescription inhaler but would gladly pay out of pocket for Primatene Mist because it works so much better. Go to the new primatene.com website for more info. Wow, this is huge!!

Sadly enough, Asthmanefrin was recalled because the head of the FDA wanted to force people to buy Obamacare. That was the article that came up at 3am this morning. I think they said his name is Michael Cohen. He needs to be fired immediately and tied to a tree where we can all go by and spit on him. I’d rather whack him with a bat, but that’s illegal. Spit would be very fitting.

For those who were distraught about Primatene Mist being pulled off the market in 2011, it appears to have been re-released as an over the counter inhaler with the same active ingredient:

Primatene Mist is now available in a couple of stores!! I have one in my possession, greedily grabbing it at a local Walgreens. Walgreens has it online and in stores. CVS just has it in stores, according to their website. Haven't seen it at Wal-Mart. The price at both stores is $29.99. This is certainly higher than the $18.00 or so that I remember from 2011. It can be carried in a pocket easily. I believe the number of doses,160 per unit, is also lower than before. Plus, according to the directions, one should spray one dose in the air before taking a dose. That doesn't make much sense. However, the good news is that it seems to work as before. It was such a blessed relief feeling my lungs actually open after taking it, a feeling that I never remotely got from the expensive and nearly useless Albuterol. I hope that it will eventually be available at Wal-Mart and some other stores, as that would probably lower the price. In the meantime, rejoice!
