1/ In 2008, @US_FDA phased out #albuterol inhalers w/ ozone-depleting CFCs, including several generics.

Since then, brand-name firms have reaped $14 billion in sales on albuterol products--though the active ingredient went off #patent in 1989!

2/ The first #albuterol inhalers came to the market in 1981.

By the mid-1990s, inexpensive generics had become available.
3/ However, many early inhalers contained chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs).

Brand-name firms, in turn, developed more environmentally friendly #HFA and dry-powder (#DPI) #albuterol inhalers.

By their own estimates, they spent $250-400 million developing these products.

Four years ago today @BrynneCraig and I were in Toronto escaping what was happening. We were staring at each other, trying to imagine how to move forward. 1/4
In 2017 we picked ourselves up by relying on our friends, leaning into each other, and discovering travel (we took 7 vacations that year. Yes, seven). 2/4
We would give anything to have had a @HillaryClinton Presidency. Anything. The past four years have brought a level of death and destruction that we knew was coming but still could not believe. She would have been a marvelous President with an unmatched team. 3/4
