Armstrong Pharmaceuticals Reviews

well really how long does it take to change the gas in a little bottle? which could be the same as whip cream cans LOL

it about the money and paying off the US government.

It's disconcerting to read how many PM users are so totally clueless in how the drug development process works. This whole thing is SOLELY the result of EPA crusaders having their dirty work carried out by the FDA.

"Why is Armstrong taking so long with the HFA inhaler?" you ask. Again, the blame lies solely with the FDA - their clinical study requirements throw a monkey wrench into the development process, slowing the process down to a crawl and burdening the company with million$ and million$ of cost to develop it. Armstrong would LOVE to have a replacement on the shelf already (their studies are done), but again the FDA is dragging their feet in approving it, as they do with approving every other new drug product that's been introduced in the last 40 years. (Why? They claim that it's all in the interest of keeping YOU safe, because they are convinced that we are all idiots.)

The issue of development is another thing. It appears that many people here think that you simply have to put some epinephrine in a bottle with a magical propellant and it "just works." Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. To get a single item that both functions properly, delivers the legally required dose EVERY TIME, and doesn't make you *** when you use it requires dozens of iterations or trial combinations. The technology (equipment) necessary to generate these items is highly specialized and unGodly expensive, so they have to create partnerships with companies specialized in developing and producing them.

Quite simply, this isn't just putting a new tire on the car... it's reinventing the wheel.

You want to complain to somebody? Complain to the FDA or your congressman - they're to blame. Not Armstrong.

I would like to thank all the (so called experts) for keeping me safe from a product that actually worked with ouy a prescription. thanks to them my asthma is worse and it is hard to breathe.I am laidoff without health insurance and cannot afford the doctors solutions to this problem. these same experts are probably protesting the war,but killing asthmatics

Armstrong Pharmaceuticals is playing Russian roulette with the millions of asthma sufferers. I shutter to think that they are in this business for profits alone.

But what goes around, comes around. Just as the banks abused their power and is now paying for it, the same will befall Armstrong Pharmaceuticals.

Not sure what really prompted the removal of Primatene Mist from the shelves, but it is not a solution to anything. I notice that there's a link in the main group of Armstrong links on Google for Albuterol. Were Primatene Mist OTC sales cutting into potential, and more profitable, sales of the prescription inhaler?

Whatever, PM should be put back on the market with a propellant that doesn't harm the environment, or the product should be provided by a company that is more concerned about making a useful product available to the general public.

I've had asthma for 57 years, though my younger years were the worst, and now it mainly a concern during allergy season. I CAN imagine how scary it is for some parents with a young child who is struggling for breath but for whom they have no medication. There are literally millions of families who have no insurance or other means to pay for a visit to a doctor to get a prescription to then go buy a drug they can't afford. Primatene Mist is important to have available.

I don't remember hearing one incident ever that would justify taking PM off the market. I have used it for years with 0 adverse affects and when allergy season is done, it stays in the medicine cabinet without any any need for it other than for breathing assistance.

I'm going to start writing to my senators and congressperson. I'm going to send an e-letter to the White House. I don't have a personal thing with Armstrong Pharmaceuticals. I'm glad there is a comment thread provided to accept my opinion and those of others. But PM is a useful product needed and used by many and it's not right to withhold it for reasons that don't justify the inconvenience and even harm.

I would recommend that others who read this also contact your political representatives and the White House in addition to Armstrong Pharmaceuticals at info@***g-pharma.com

I have used Primatene Mist for 40 years,never ever had a problem.When I used prescription inhalers I had to use it more frequently,suffered from nervousness,heart palpitations.Never ever had this reaction to Primatene Mist.I think it is horrible that the only over the counter inhaler can no longer be purchased,

Please hurry with the HFA-propelled epinephine product as with most people its like breathing through a juice box straw, ventalin etc. just doesnt cut it.,again please hurry !

I wish someone could explain to me how this mist product hurts the ozone. The product is released into the mouth and inhaled.

How does that adversely affect the ozone? I doubt people are going around squirting it into the air.

Taking this product off the market is another example of Big Brother government. Yes, I need it handy, because there are times I have a sudden attack and Primatine worked FAST.

I have an RX inhaler, but it is too expensive for my income. Give it back!
