Bring it back !!!!
Have been using Primitene Mist and pills since it first came on the market. Made it thru 20 years of military service using these products. Now am stuck with the junk, that the Doctor has to prescribe, everything that has been give by my doctor is not working. Bring back the one thing that has saved my life, the Mist !!!!! works great, and is affordable,easy to use, and used to be readily available. Who is profiting from keeping this product off the market ?,Doctors,the big companies who sell the prescribed inhalers, and the stockholders. Please Save me from having huge medication bills every month !

Primatene mist inhaler
took inhaler off the market before having a suitable replacement available. I suffer from COPD and their inhaler worked better than albuterol inhaler that I used before. Now I am forced to obtain a prescription for the albuterol(proventil) and I must go through a doctor for that. many people do not have a regular doctor and even if they do, it increases their out of pocket expense. Pfizer,Armstrong pharmaceuticals and the FDA are all derelict in this problem and should hasten to develop and market a over the counter inhaler (emergency inhalers ) as soon as possible for the good of everyone involved!

I am a single 58 yr old mom/ also raising a grandson--living on $300 per wk/ no insurance/no child support. My fifteen year old son has asthma, Primatene Mist Inhalers had been a life line for us. Now there is nothing but a Dr--seeking a mandatory full physical every year ($150.00) up front, and will give prescription for a little albuterol rescue inhaler---for $60.00 each, by the way, those are addictive! Or we can take the baby and sit indefinately in an ER...Now we really struggle. I had to call the emergency squad twice last night. Thanks.

Armstrong Pharmaceuticals stopped producing Primitene Mist
Primitene Mist was the last over-the-counter drug that was more affordable than many of the prescribed medicines by doctors. The company that makes Primatene Mist, Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, said in July that it was "actively finalizing its internal development" of an HFA-propelled epinephrine product. No one knows how long this will take. Meanwhile, asthma sufferers with no insurance and no doctor will have to suffer because Armstrong Pharmaceuticals has been dragging their feet for over ten years for the development" of an HFA-propelled epinephrine product. Hydrofluoroalkane(HFA) Is this a conspiracy that involves the government, drug companies, and doctors? In my opinion, YES!

Armstrong Pharmaceutical took of the shelves the inhailer primatine
A hate the fact that armstrong pharmaceutical took of the shelve the primatine inhailers millions of people count on that medication for there asthma, especialy if they can not afford to go to the doctors almost all the medication for asthma requires a doctor rx and if you can not go to the doctor, that means that pretty much you are scrood. Like myself I dont have insurance and I can not afford to pay a doctor out of my pocket.thats why I was depending on primatine and now that they took out I dont know what to do. Thats why I am so pissed off please bring back my primatine.

I am so disappointed that Primatine Mist has been discontinued, tt was an over the counter asthma relief drug that I could afford but no I am now left with no options. I hope who made this decision understands the finanical impact it has made on thousands and thousands of people who are either un-employed or not financially capable of paying for a $ 120.00 to $ 220.00 doctor's visit just for an inhaler. I hope they are faced one day with NO OPTIONS! This is our government being ***! They are only hurting the poor & middle class. I can see the future impact on hospital emergecy centers, they will now be providing indigent care for $ 1,000.00 dollars which could have been resolved for a minimum cost of $ 20.00. Please let me know who and where I can file a complaint on behalf of myself and others.

Taking away needed over the counter meds
The over the counter meds that really is taken away. we that have asthma and copd used primatene mist to help us. The meds that we get from the doctor do not work as fast as primatene and there are some bad side affect that we can not deal with. now that primatene mist is no longer available we are force to use whatever we can get, which is not good. tell us when primatene will be back on the market. with primatene we can buy it over the counter which is a good. we do not have to wait for a doctor to give it to us.

I've been doing a lot of research on this. It seems Armstrong had from 1989 to 2011 to develop something and didn't. Then made a butt-load of soon to be not legal for sale product, and then pressed (and ultimately blamed) congress to get them an exception to sell it...
I have used an Epinephrine inhaler for over 20+ years. I can afford the Albuterol inhalers, so cost isn't an issue.
THE PLAN FACT IS THAT IN SOME PEOPLE THE ALBUTEROL DOESN'T WORK!!!
I think that Attempted Murder charges should be filed against the FDA and Armstrong, the manufacturer of Primatene. I firmly believe that Armstrong has NO INTENT to produce any kind of Epinepherine inhaler, and/or the FDA has NO INTENT to ever let one on the market in the US again. CONTACT YOUR US SENATORS, US REP's, the FDA, ARMSTRONG (ps their petition is one sided, designed to bring $ to ARMSTRONG, not help asthmatics.
CONTACT the Health and Human Services Department CONTACT your local TV station. We shouldn't just lay down and suffocate without a FIGHT!!!
Lets see also the precription albuterol that was a generic in areosol form and been simply redesigne dinto a powder but still albuterol is now a NON Generic.. That is like taking a generic Asprin crushing it and saying now that it is crushed it is no longer a generic..
BULL ***.. All they changed was the delivery method..
Pharasutical Companies need their *** sued.. :(
Albuteral inhalers DO NOT WORK . Primitene mist DOES WORK let's take it off the market so millions suffer....
great idea.
Kill the asthma sufferers so the small amount of CFCs don't harm the ozone. Might as well kill all the cows cause they *** and kill the ozone.
I was thinking about crushing the tablets and inhaling them. What do you think?
I've had light asthma most of my life. Used Primatene Mist a couple times a week and never had any major issues.
Now, Albuterol makes me worse, after the first day I end up using it 5 times a day as my asthma attacks become regular. I'm suffering, smothering, and miserable.
I need Primatene Mist. Armstrong, please help us.
Facinating that the self righteous *** that run the United States government would be so arrogant they would remove the only over the counter option asthmatics can use to breathe...THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE.What kind of sick *** removes THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE WE USE TO CATCH OUR BREATH ?? I hope you *** know what it's like one day to wake up with nothing to help you catch your breath because you have no health insurance.May the sick,selfish,money grabbing jerks get what;s coming to them one day.
I've used Primatene Mist for over 25 years and to leave us with nothing when the removal of this product has been in the works for years, amounts to murder. There was plenty of time to develop another method of dispensing this product so it doesn't damage the Ozone layer.
What about all the inhalers that require a prescription, nothing wrong with them.
Oh, could it be the issue helps the Pharmaceutical companies and doctors??? I haven't found anything that brings up the Phlegm, help, I'm choking and the doctors just smile.
Yeah, I too used PM for years and am not forced to suffer.
Although the Albteral works for me I spent a night in an ER to get it and after this one runs out I am sure I will be back in there again soon.
I have used Primatene Mist for over 20 years, I have also spent many days and nights in the ER when my inhaler ran out . I have been prescribed many many different medications to help treat my asthma , but out of 20 years of experience Primatene Mist was the ONLY one that work and was readily available over the counter, Now that you have taken it off the market over some BS reason, I am currently smothering to death, THANKS FDA,.
I think I am going to file an attempted murder charge on The FDA and with todays lawyers I will win.
You are indangering my life every minute that Primatene Mist is not available to me. GIVE ME BACK MY MEDICATION !!!!!!!!!
