"I had shortness of breath for 2 days. I'm not the type to sit in the emergency room over every cut and scrape. So I looked for something to help me breathe. I went to Walgreens, and the pharmacy suggested Primatene. It's amazing!"

"Took Primatene while on vacation, as I had an unexpected reaction to the smoke, etc., nearby forest fires all over California. I couldn't breathe, blocked up! This was recommended by my doctor and absolutely worked very quickly too. Did make me feel a little nauseous, but I could breathe, and that’s all that I cared about."

"I caught the flu a month ago, which eventually turned into breathing difficulties and a never-ending cough, which is not good as I am a professional singer! I tried all the cough meds and syrups. The cough would not relent! Then I remembered about Primatene, as I seemed to have all the symptoms of previous asthma attacks I had had. Within two to three days of taking Primatene, the endless cough and wheezing has nearly completely stopped. I actually performed tonight for the first time without the continued feeling I have to cough! It’s done wonders, and I highly recommend it. It truly, truly has helped me to recover from the worst case of flu!"

"I first used the inhaler about a year ago, which actually seemed to make me worse. I have what doctors call bronchial asthma. So, over a month ago, I started to get sick. Took all kinds of over-the-counter meds, which never seemed to help. Within the last week, my breathing has become so bad that I'm basically only getting a few hours of sleep before I wake up gasping to breathe. I finally decided to try the tablets. At the moment, I have only taken 2, and I feel so much better. I should've gotten these a month ago."

"After having pneumonia a year ago, it seems every cold ends in my chest. All the cough meds the docs gave me did nothing, but this Primatene worked!!"

"I have had a horrible cold with terrible coughs and unable to rest much. Mucus and stuffy/runny nose too. I took only one tablet, and it works better than the cold/flu medicine I have been taking for a week. I can breathe better, and my lungs feel much more free to breathe. Thanks!"
