copd, acute
"I took Alupent for years.  Worked okay but drug was discontinued because manufactured wouldn't convert to new propellant in April of '09.  Got prescription for Albuterol and within days was in hospital with acute bronchospasm.  Every treatment the hospital gave me with Oxygen and Albuterol caused my lungs to shut down.  This is apparently rare, but if it isn't working for you, yell, loudly. I am currently on Maxair - works okay."
