"I have emphysema/COPD and this works for me when I am getting winded.  I tried albuterol but it actually makes me worse.  After just 4 days of using albuterol I was waking up at night having trouble breathing.  The primatene mist doesn't have the rebound effect that albuterol had.  When I learned they were going to stop selling it after Dec 31, 2011 I stocked up.  Hopefully what I have will last me until they reformulate it and it's available again.  I don't know what I would do without it."
