Do ppl inhaling their asthma inhalers really give other people anxiety about the planet? fake news A long time ago generic Albuterol inhalers were taken off the market because their excipients contained CFCs. This was a common problem amongst all sorts of pressurized containers. The idea was that they caused harmful radicals in the ozone layer and were hastening its depletion. So stuff like this actually does happen. Cost went from about $6 per inhaler up to $45+. As you can imagine, people were upset when it happened |

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Nov. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (NASDAQ: AMPH) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval of its New Drug Application (NDA) for Primatene® MIST (epinephrine inhalation aerosol bronchodilator suspension), which is delivered by a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with a non-chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellant. Primatene® MIST is the only FDA-approved asthma inhaler available without a prescription in the United States. Primatene® MIST is indicated for the temporary relief of mild symptoms of intermittent asthma in people ages 12 and above.
Amphastar’s CEO, Dr. Jack Zhang, stated: “We are very happy to have received FDA approval for Primatene® MIST and are proud to bring this important product back to the over-the-counter (OTC) market in the United States."
The newly approved, patented formulation of Primatene® MIST is made with the same active ingredient, epinephrine, which was used in the original Primatene® Mist before it was removed from the market in 2011 for environmental reasons pursuant to the Montreal Protocol, an important international environmental treaty, which phased out products worldwide containing ozone-depleting CFCs. The product’s new inhalation delivery system no longer includes CFC as the propellant and has other significant new features, including a built-in spray indicator and a metal canister, which replaces the glass container used in the original Primatene® Mist product.
