My Asthma Inhaler


Recently I became very depressed when my asthma inhaler was lost.

I felt much better when I found myself not needing it for few weeks...

I heard that soon all rescue inhalers will be changed to what are known as earth-friendly rescue inhalers.

Until now, the albuterol inhaler may have used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to deliver the medicine into our lungs.

CFCs are safe for us , but hurt the environment.

The United States is requiring all inhalers to change to hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), an earth-friendly alternative to CFC.

This change will help make the air better for everyone.
HFA inhalers contain the same medicine and provide the same relief as your current CFC inhaler.
