Whoever invented albuterol is an idiot.

Seriously. Why make a drug that causes jitters and makes you nauseous? It's a vicious cycle. Big cough, wheeze, breathing treatment, slight cough, nausea, puke. If we could go - big cough, wheeze, breathing treatment, no cough/wheeze then we'd be in great shape! Don't get me wrong, albuterol has helped my child a million times. I am forever grateful for it's life saving capabilities (believe me, it works), but there has to be something better. Something that doesn't make you feel so bad afterward. Maybe one of you bright chemists out there can come up with something???

Until then, we'll be here. Waiting. Patiently.

  1. Try Maxair CFC inhaler- it uses pirbuterol, a kinder, gentler molecule.
