Lucky Hit 24

It has taken a bit of time, but finally the many thousands of people using propelled inhalers have finally, and reluctantly made the switch from CFC- propelled inhalers to HFA-propelled inhalers.

The change in law legally occurred on the last day of December last year. Fundamentally, the intent for the change in the law was for environmental reasons. The old CFC inhalers used chlorofluorocarbon. Studies have shown that chlorofluorocarbon is one of the major culprits when it comes to depleting the atmosphere’s ozone layer. When a CFC inhaler is used, the person breathes in chlorofluorocargon along with whatever medicine he is taking. And then, when the person exhales, he exhales the CFC also. When the CFC hits the atmosphere, ultraviolet light breaks them down. This is what causes the ozone to be depleted.

The U.S. is one of the last major countries to implement the change. Countries such as Canada, Europe, and Japan had all previously made the change.

Americans use medicinal drugs every year for symptoms as different as dog allergy treatment, allergies to pollen, and sulfa allergy symptoms. Even though the law changed last year to prevent the old inhalers from being produced and sold, no doubt there are still many people who have yet to replace their old inhalers with the newer ones.

According to the FDA, HFA, or hydrofluoroalkane, is much a much friendlier substance to the environment than CFC.

Since the changeover, users of the new HFA are primarily experiencing two differences. The biggest change is that the newer model inhalers tend to get clogged more frequently whereas with the older inhalers, this was not much of a problem. The other change, from a patient standpoint, is that the taste is a bit different.

It might seem that the tiny amount of propellant in each inhaler wouldn’t make a big difference. But there are million of these inhalers in use around the world each year. Because of this, the change is anticipated to radically diminish the amount of damage done to the environment each year as well as over the long term..
