		<description>If you think cleaning an HFA inhaler will make it more efficient you are delusional. Most users of HFA inhalers immediately and correctly realize that HFA is not the same medication than &quot;the old generic CFC inhalers&quot;.  

The core drugs are the same but there are new, unsafe additives.  Furthermore, HFA inhalers were improperly tested and approved by overzealous, ambitious people who had selfish agendas and stood to gain fortunes.  It is amazing how the EPA and FDA, along with IPAC hoodwinked and achieved approval in an unprecedented changeover.  In the history of the US FDA this type of change for nonmedical reasons has &quot;never&quot; occurred.  

Ethanol is a sticky substance, if it clogs the inhaler so often-what do you think it does inside the lungs?  Lung patients are now vulnerable to the dangerous side effects of Ethanol (HFA) laced inhalers.   

Of course with any new patented drug the drug company can charge enormous amounts of money.  But cost should be the least of HFA inhaler users issues--if they use HFA inhalers long enough, they&#039;ll pay so much in medical fees and emergencies rooms visits, it&#039;ll make their head spin.  I know—I’ve been suffering for almost two years --thanks to HFA inhalers.</description>
