FDA requires patients to change MDIs

IMPORTANT: Quick-relief inhalers should be used only as a back-up measure to treat asthma. For example, for acute asthma symptoms, as pre-treatment for exercise-induced asthma symptoms or before being exposed to pets that you are allergic to.

If you are using your quick-relief inhaler daily for asthma symptoms, contact an allergist immunologist to get your asthma under control. Find an allergist/immunologist in your area.
