is it any good? I really can't tell at this point ...for sure. I know in the recent past I have tried it and it did seem to help. I was not sick any of those times, but seemed to be having an issue with breathing (usually because of some chemical in the air). Now I am sick and it might be helping, but if so, its not much or for very long.
I know I need a new one but am out of work with no medical at this time.
So the question is...is my inhaler any good for use after the expiration date?View Thread



Random question, I know. I recently read an article that said that Amish children exhibit low levels of allergic sensitivity and asthma due to their exposure to many allergens.
While I don't think that I would ever become Amish, there are definitely useful insights to take away from these findings.
Did you grow up in an environment where you were exposed to a lot of allergens? If so, do you think that helped you or hurt you?
Or perhaps, you grew up in an environment that was more sterile. Do you feel as though that contributed to your asthmatic symptoms?

I just wanted to let everyone that used to use Maxair that Teva has finally come out with a somewhat comparable replacement - ProAir RespiClick. Of course MaxAir was pirbuterol not albuterol, but it is awesome to once again have an inhaler that does not require a spacer! This is also an excellent option for people (especially kids) who struggle with the coordination of actuating an inhaler and breathing in as the inhaler is a powder and therefore is breath activated.
I am not a fan of powder inhalers, but for the convenience of not needing a spacer I will be trying it. If I remember correctly the inhalation rate for powders is slower than for other inhalers or the power will hit the back of the throat and not reach the lungs.
Here is the link if anyone is interested in checking it out.
