Do HFA albuterol inhalers work as well as CFC albuterol inhalers?
Yes. HFA albuterol inhalers have been proven to work just as well as CFC albuterol inhalers for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm (difficulty breathing) associated with conditions like asthma and COPD. In fact, the FDA studied HFA inhalers extensively before approving them and making the decision to ban CFC inhalers.
