Allergies Allergies Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Coping From Daniel More, MD, your Guide to Allergies Learn about Asthmanefrin, an over the counter nebulizer version of Primatene Mist, and how Asthmanefrin is a non-prescription alternative to inhaled albuterol for the treatment of immediate symptoms of asthma.   Asthmanefrin Replaces Primatene Mist as Asthma Treatment Without a Prescription Asthmanefrin is an inhalation solution available OTC without a prescription and is marketed for the treatment of acute symptoms of asthma. The manufacturer of Asthmanefrin claims that it is an “Alternative to Primatene Mist CFC Inhaler,” although Asthmanefrin is delivered via a handheld ultrasonic nebulizer (not unlike nebulized albuterol). Asthmanefrin contains the same active ingredient as Primatene Mist, which is epineprhine.  Search Related Topics:  asthma  asthma medications  asthma inhalers Inhaled Albuterol for the Treatment of Asthma Albuterol is an inhaled medication used for the immediate treatment of the symptoms of asthma –- coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
