Have you had your inhaler misfire?

Do you carry your inhaler in your pocket? If so, maybe it is getting slightly compressed as you move and letting the propellant escape?
I agree there is a wide variability in inhalers between brands - I had one where the propellant was too irritating, when I told the pharmacist he found a different one for me. My insurance didn't care as long as it was generic.
Have you looked into the possibility of having your Rx filled by Mayo and mailed to you?

Rarely have occasion to carry the Albuterol with me. Interestingly, I stopped by the Rochester Mayo subway pharmacy to get my favorite Albuterol brand and was told they didn't carry it and that they were really a separate entity from the clinic.
