Lots of folks are still unaware that Primatene Mist is unavailable.

Lots of folks who grew up watching the Primatene Mist commercials and seeing it in their local store were surprised to learn that it’s not available any more. If you are not an asthma sufferer, it’s not necessarily something you would know.

But Asthma Sufferers are keenly aware that it’s gone, and they can’t buy Primatene Mist anymore. But why can’t you buy it?

In short, the Montreal Protocol to reduce chlorofluorocarbon emissions included any product that used the CFC’s. That included Primatene Mist.

Much to the surprise of millions, the go to relief that they had used for years was pulled from the market.
