Comment:
I am a 55 year old woman who used Primatine Mist for close to 40 years without any problems. I did not abuse this medication. I used this medication when I had problems with my asthma. I am an adult. I know what meds work for me, and Primatine worked. I have been perscribed several different types of medications that do not work for me, and are over priced. I now pay 40 every 20 days for A rescue

Primatene Mist has saved my life many times since it first came on the market in the 1960's. Now since it has been removed from the market, there is nothing that works as well or as quickly, especially the dangerous prescription drugs now offered.

My doctor told me to stop taling it and take all the prescription drugs he gave me. I did and ended up in the hospital twice that year. I dropped all the Rx stuff and got back on Primatene mist. I could breathe again !!! So now it's gone again. It's all about the money. Doctors get nothing from Primatene and the pharmacists, EPA, etc . don't either.

You can get all the people in the world to use primathene mist twice a day for and not get the amount of ozone destruction as one would get from 1/2 hour of burning "clean cold". Where is the mind of the FD. WHY DON'T THEY BAN MSG...... IT DOES MORE HARM TO PEOPLE. I FORGOT THE NAME OF THE GAME IS MONEY. NOT BENEFIT TO PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIC INDUCED ASTHMA!
