Not the best choice. Response is quick to the medication... but It's duration of action is extremely short. Also, you can build tolerance to the medication quickly, and has more cardiac side effects compared to anticholinergic drugs like Atrovent, and other Beta 2 drugs like Albuterol. Albuterol responds quickly (not quite as quick as Primatene Mist), but last hours instead of minutes. It is my suggestion you get a prescription from a primary care giver, and get good follow-up care. It's worth the money... Nikki (the model) Taylor's younger sister was found dead clutching a Primatene Mist Bottle when she died. It's a clear example of how "not" to manage asthma.
