What happened to Warrick and Albuterol?

Question

I use a Warrick Albuterol inhaler. I have used one for about a year, and I have a back up one somewhere in my medicine cupboard. I was looking online because I became curious about the Warrick Pharm. company and where my Albuterol was coming from, But I couldnt find anything about them (past a recall in 1999-2000 for distributing duds). Does anyone know why they dont have any direct online rescources or if I should be concerned?

Due to government regulations Albuterol inhaler is going to the the HFA or CFC-free by 2008. My Warrick albuterol inhaler has already been replaced with the new ones Proventil HFA at my pharmacy as the old inhalers are being phased out . There was also another one called Pro-Air HFA . Insurance decided which one I could get. Not everyone has been switched because the new ones do cost more.

Answer 3

no concern if your inhaler works but hospitals just found a cheaper company to go with and was having multiple problems with faulty inhalers. all about the money not the drug.
