OPINION: Can’t people read labels?
Awhile ago, while watching TV, I came across a commercial for a new over-the-counter asthma inhaler, Asthmanefrine. Curious, I asked my pharmacist about it. She said it was a good product, and that it avoids some of pitfalls of the now-unavailable medicine it replaced, Primatene Mist.
But let’s talk a little about the aforementioned Primatene Mist. I always had a prescription inhaler, albuterol, which was far more effective, but there were times when I was temporarily out of albuterol or had used up all my refills and had to wait until Monday to call the pharmacist.
And on those occasions, Primatene came very much in handy, especially during those days, when I had very serious asthma.
