Why doesn't the inhaler work?
I was prescribed an inhaler about a week ago, and it doesn't seem to be helping with my breathing problems. It feels good and works for about a few seconds after using it then it doesn't make a difference at all. And the other day it actually made my symptoms A LOT worse (I could barley breath for the whole evening and felt pressure). Is there a reason for all of this or should I just switch brands?

A lot of people have complained about the inhalers since they changed the ingriedients because of environmental factors, what a joke, there was Absolutely NO need to do that, there reasoning makes no sence at all!
Why Was Albuterol Changed From a CFC to an HFA Propellant?
Hydrofluoroalkane, or HFA, inhalers use a different form of propellant compared to the older CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) inhalers. CFCs have been found to damage the ozone layer and cause other environmental problems.
