FDA Switch to HFA inhalers

Many of us who have experienced the switch from the CFC to HFA inhalers have had very negative affects-3 of the 4 HFA inhalers contain a known toxin(ethanol)- to many asthmatics causing increased broncospasm. If you have experienced neg. affects please file a Med-Watch complaint with the FDA and sign our petition to safe CFC inhalers. Thank You
