A member asked:
Can primatene work good for exercise induced asthma or in general?

Of all the...: ...Bronchodilators, Epinephrine (active ingredient in primatene) is shortest-acting, and with the most side effects. I would recommend alternative medications for all types of asthma.

There are better: Inhalers available. Primatene is merely adequate, but does work if other drugs (albuterol, inhaled steroids) are not at hand.
