of the powder inhalers. One time it was in the hospital. After having tried numerous different ones, I finally gave up and said "no" whenever doctors tried to prescribe them to me. One of them cost $500 a month and came with numerous side effects. It would have been healthier to throw the money down the toilet. I couldn't afford the $500 a month, so I had to go shopping overseas for it. After I realized the inhaler was the cause of some of my side effects, it ended up in the garbage.

I agree that after all these years, albuterol inhalers should be OTC, especially considering how easy Primatene is to buy. I've bought it from Amazon and I keep a few around the house in case I run out of my regular inhaler. It is scary how hard they make it to stay alive sometimes.
