Went to get our albuteral refilled the other day and the pharmacy said they had to contact the doctor about doing a "conversion" on the medication. They said they could no longer send out albuteral because it contained cholor flora carbons..... anyone else being told they have to take Provental now? Also has anyone ever used Provental?

No, I haven't heard that. We had our Albuterol filled about 2 weeks ago -- now I'm worried.

Brief but informative. FYI, there is nothing wrong with the drug itself. The problem lies in the propellant that is used in the canister. Although the Montreal Protocol has resulted in a dramatic decline in the use of CFCs in most commercially available products, ozone depleting substances (ODS) are still being used. Not to worry though, these chemicals are used in very small quantities, and are highly regulated and inventoried.
How do I know? Because I've been a part of the inventory process.
