Albuterol Asthma Inhaler Change
Your Asthma Inhaler Is Changing!

If you or your child are using an Albuterol metered dose inhaler (MDI), also called a “short-acting” or “rescue” inhaler, it is vital for you to know that you will need to
change very soon to a new kind of asthma inhaler.
Soon all rescue inhalers will be changed to what are known as earth-friendly rescue inhalers. Until now, your albuterol inhaler may have used chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) to deliver the medicine into your lungs. CFCs are safe for you, but hurt the environment. They change the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere, letting more
of the sun's harmful rays pass freely through it.So the United States is requiring all inhalers to change to hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), an earth-friendly alternative to CFC.
This change will help make the air better for everyone.HFA inhalers contain the same medicine and provide the same relief as your current CFC inhaler.It is important
to talk to your doctor as soon as possible about making a switch to an HFA albuterol asthma inhaler.
