The HFA inhalers are not as effective as the CFC inhalers -- 3 out of the 4 HFA inhalers contain ethanol, a known toxin to some asthmatics causing severe broncospasm.

I am allergic to the new formulation as many others are. It doesn't matter what the FDA says -- unless you are Asthmatic you cannot compare the two.

If you've had difficulties with the new HFA inhalers, please sign the petition to save CFC inhalers. Thank you.

The Centers for Disease Control released a report this week linking nearly 1,000 injuries and more than a dozen deaths to the Gardasil vaccine.
These warnings often go unnoticed and more and more young women are being exposed to the possibility of being injured by this vaccine. State governments have picked up on the trend of mandating its young women to receive Gardasil, an obvious boon to the manufacturer.
Please read more about this and take action before more injuries are suffered: http://www.gardasil-talk.com
