Not Breathing Easier With the US FDA’s Ban on Chlorofluorocarbons in Inhalers

I recently experienced firsthand the impact of the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) ban on chlorofluorocarbons as described by Jena et al.¹ My daughter was home for vacation from college and needed to fill a prescription for an albuterol inhaler (Ventolin). I went to the pharmacy to pick it up, and when the pharmacist handed me the prescription, he said it would be $59.
