With the new FDA/EPA removal of cfc inhalers, they are removing albuterol inhalers and replace them beside albuterol hfa. These new inhalers and others resembling them all contain sulfate, I have bad reaction when inhaling sulfate. Does anyone know of an asthma inhaler that is cfc free and does not contain sulfate?Asthma inhalers that don't contain sulfate?
As far as I know, adjectives Albuterol products contain sulfates, even the nebulized solution. It is called "Albuterol Sulfate" for a judgment. It is a sulfate. The switch to HFA didn't affect this... it's the chemical composition of the medication.
If you don't want that, you should probably consider an Anti-cholinergic drug like Atrovent (Ipatropium Bromide).
Good luck to you.
Hi, I don't enjoy a direct answer to your question but I merely wanted to perchance point you to something that may help. I enjoy this book " The Asthma Sourcebook". I have severe asthma and this book have a lot of practical information. There is a section on sulfates but it doesn't detail any medications.
If your have trouble with the sulfate afterwards you need to ask Dr for a different drug
I know the CFC's give me problems, If I took albuterol via a nebulizer I didn't have as masses problems
I believe that Xopenex might be a valid replacement
Ask your DR.
All albuterol contains sulfate. Its part of the medication craft up.
Xopenex is a new publication of albuterol. Known as Levalbuterol, Xopenex has sulfate too.
