On December 31 st , 2008, asthma inhalers are set to go “green” – in more ways than one. Rescue inhalers containing fast-acting medications such as albuterol that are used to ease symptoms of an asthma attack will no longer use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant.

A reader writes: The albuterol inhaler that my insurance co. charges $35 for is manufactured in Ireland. I ordered my albuterol from a Canadian company (@$6 per inhaler) that was mailed from Assam having been manufactured in Goa.
