The original Primatene Mist (and its various knock-offs) was removed from the shelves in January of 2011, primarily because contained a propellant that was "damaging to the ozone layer". Imagine! A product that was affordable and effective when I needed it. I was left with getting prescription albuterol sulfate, which was not nearly as effective as Primatene for me, and at three times the cost, and that's just my co-pay. I was very happy to learn recently (5/2020) that there is a new version of this effective, non-prescription product, and that I was able to find it on eBay. I will admit that this new version is more expensive than the original, but at least it works. I cannot say that it will be effective for you. All I will say is that this is a vast improvement for me.

These do work, although I did prefer the pre 2012 Primatene Mist inhalers because they worked better. But they were discontinued of course, because of the harmful ozone ingredient. These new Primatene Mist inhalers work fine for me, I have had mild asthma since I was young. Though I have to use more puffs than I should have to, they get used up quicker and then I have to buy another. The nice thing is that these can be purchased without a prescription. I just wish they worked as good as the old ones did. These are also more expensive than the originals...but so is everything else. I always make sure I have a spare around, just in case.

I just recently found out Primatene is back and got so excited that I ordered 3 inhalers.This is the second time I ordered multiple inhalers from ebay. I still have some of my last order but I don't want to risk running out or that my good old friend will leave again. They are less expensive here than in drug stores or even other mail order online stores. I like the new formula. It doesn't make me as jittery as the old formula and still works well for me. They do have the familiar weird taste but I like it and it sometimes makes my throat feel scratchy for a short time but it's not too bad and goes away after drinking water. I hope they come down in price as supply/demand really takes off. I have Copd and have several prescribed inhalers that don't really work as well. In these times of the covid epidemic it's good to have effective weapons to fight the war on breathing problems. The only thing I would recommend is that refill canisters come back so they can be purchased at a lower price.Read full review

I have seasonal borderline asthma, which causes problems expelling my breath completely. I take Loratadine and Flonase daily and on occasion Primatene Mist at bedtime. I have been prescribed albuterol which does not work for me so I do not take that anymore The Primatene works by relaxing bronchial spasms so I can breathe easily without coughing to expel my breath. The Primatene allows me to fall asleep faster because I have relaxed breathing. However, Primatene Mist can make you momentarily feel a little hyper: I would rather feel a little hyper than like a fish out of water. Bottomline: Primatene Mist is a win win for me. I am relieved it is back on the market.

I appreciate being able to get these online as they are not available OTC where I live. I have used other MDIs with albuterol, but this epinephrine formula works to open my lungs without giving me a huge rush and without keeping me awake. When I use the albuterol MDIs or in a nebulizer, it does help my breathing, but I have a lot of side effects that I don't have with the Primatine Mist. This comes with a dial counter that is visible on the top so you know if you are starting to run low. The price of this is less than the cost of me making an appointment for my doctor to get a rprescription efill, going to the pharmacy and paying my co-pay. So since I found this, I have been ordering Primatene online and it works well for me in addition to saving me money.. Thank you.
