Albuterol... ![]() Good thing I got a new one after my latest illness (that I will be testing to determine if it was COVID). I always keep my older expired inhalers as well, as something is better than nothing..

One hospital nurse said they were out of Tylenol. And people who take hydroxychloroquine for chronic illnesses are having trouble finding their medications. The ripples will fan out far and wide....

I always keep the old, partially used inhalers around, too. Thank goodness. | |||

Yep. Rob went to do his regular renewal of Symbicort, which he requires twice daily to keep his asthma under control. Nope. Shortage. A week and a half later (at this point he is completely out), the doctor prescribed an alternative. Thank goodness it works.

I have had an asthma attack, my first real emergency, in a hospital during a test...I didn't have my inhaler with me.. It was like an episode of "House" and since then I never leave the house without my little red friend. And now I have back up steroid inhalers that I am to use ahead of Dr visits if I feel something coming on ...This last illness may have been mitigated a bit with this..I started it over the weekend before able to see the Dr. on Monday.

Sorry you have to go through this, Beelady. Having gone through mothering a very severely asthmatic son (not expected to survive), I know how frightening an attack can be. That you don't have your tried and true fallbacks guaranteed must be really awful. Hope they ramp up production of Albuterol and similar!

I will never understand why they took Primatene off of the market and why they have never let it come back. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but there is something rotten in Denmark.

It sure worked for me, and it was OTC, available, and very cheap.

See above post, Steve. I think it’s available again.

Heh. My doctor. Don’t get me started. OTOH he makes a remarkable amount of money so there is that.
