Albuterol inhalers used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). Because of the Montreal Protocol to phase out the use and production of CFCs, since 2008 all Albuterol inhalers are powered by hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs).

Why is my doctor asking me to switch from an Albuterol inhaler to a flowvent inhaler while I'm pregnant can using Albuterol cause early labor?

The propellant for inhalers is changing and the old CFC propellant ones cannot be sold after December 31, 2008. Probably you will still be taking the same drug, just the delivery system will change. The jury is still out on pros and cons of albuterol during pregnancy.


If an Albuterol inhaler contains 20mg of Albuterol how many inhalation doses can be delivered if each dose contains 90mcg?

To determine how many inhalation doses can be delivered from a 20mg Albuterol inhaler with each dose containing 90mcg, first convert 20mg to micrograms: 20mg is equal to 20,000mcg. Then, divide the total amount of Albuterol by the dosage per inhalation: 20,000mcg ÷ 90mcg/dose = approximately 222.22 doses. Therefore, the inhaler can deliver about 222 doses.
