Pros: Great temporary relief for some people
Cons: Talk to your doctor before using this
Summary: I've read all manner of things here at Epinions attacking Primatene Mist. Typically, I figured on throwing my two-cents in (a literal statement these days, seeing how Epinions pays folks anymore). I've used this stuff for years with success, but I have ... read more

Pros: Somewhat fast relief, acts as an emergency inhaler, cheaper than prescription version for the uninsured.
Cons: Horrible taste, often takes longer than prescription inhalers to work, devlops an odd discoloration
Summary: Primatene Mist is an over-the-counter emergency inhaler for those suffering from asthma. While not to be used on a daily basis, and not to be used for preventing asthma attacks, the inhaler is meant to be used when suffering an attack for emergency ... read more

Pros: It works.
Cons: Side Effects...
Summary: Well here's my take on it. I'm 21 and have had asthma pretty much all my life. It wasn't serious enough for an inhaler until maybe 16 when I ended up with a pretty bad lung infection which seems to have set something off. Anyway. I brought this after ... read more

Pros: Over the counter

Pros: Fast acting, inexpensive
Cons: It's not perfect
Summary: It was with some surprise that I read so many negative reviews of Primatene Mist. I have used inhaled epinephrine for 55 of my 58 years, and it has always been a godsend in terms of making it easier to breath.

Cons: A little expensive (& now hard to find) and never any coupons.
Summary: I've been taking Primatene Mist (PM) pretty much every day since high school (18 years!). Before then I had prescription pills which never seemed to do anything. I wish I found it years earlier when I would just suffer through an attack. It works 99% ... read more

Pros: Great product, works best atomized in the air, Makes a GREAT CHEAP Back up.
Cons: Full blast can make you choke, less is better,. Mouth piece often faulty.
