For Asthma, acute "I used to use the old Primatene Mist before they took it off the market, much to my chagrin. I was happy to see the new one was on there, but at twice the price. The new one gives me paradoxical bronchospasms and shoots my heart rate up, gives me stomach pain. I'm trying to cut down on the usage of it because my albuterol is not working too well, and I have restless leg syndrome, and I'm pre-diabetic, and albuterol can cause hypoglycemia and restless leg syndrome. If I use too much Primatene Mist, I get restless leg, tachycardia, nervousness, tremors. The long-acting broncho agonists that they prescribe, LABAs, have serious side effects: tachycardia, very strong tremors, stomach pain, they don't always work. I have to be very careful with them right now, and my skin is so thin, dry, itchy, and burning, and I am also allergic to everything. I have contact dermatitis. I truly believe that these medications are wrecking my life-how can I breathe?"

For Asthma, acute "Used this for two months with good results. Then my chest started burning after using, then started to get intense stomach pain, even after gargling. Sorry I wasted my money on a third. Will be giving to my husband for his allergy attacks and intermittent shortness of breath. He has a cast-iron stomach."

For Asthma, acute "I have run out of albuterol, I thought I'd give this a go. Big mistake. Not only did it not help, but it caused an awful burning sensation in my airways. I will never use this again."
