Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've been an non-HFA albuterol girl my whole life, generic since it was available and even wiped out the local pharmacies when the switch to HFA occurred. I tried a Proventil HFA sample when my old faithful non-HFA albuterol inhaler ran out and it has seemed to cause more asthma issues than it helped. In reading the new propellant has caused problems in a few patients so that's no shocker with how touchy my lungs are.....anyway to the point i was trying to reach, i requested a non-HFA inhaler today and got Maxair, in hopes that I wouldn't have to resort to nebbing every time i had a little sob (which thanks to Xolair is very rare these days). For people who have used Maxair, anything i need to be aware of that would be different than with the non-HFA albuterol inhalers? Any different side effects, other than the shakes and washing my mouth afterwards? I was in shock at the price after spending $10-20 for generic and $115 for Maxair but since it appears to be a slightly different medication just wanted to check from people who would know. I apologize for the rambling, halfway through an MBA program and my brain is fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
