Your Question. Are their any shortages of asthma meds due to dr's using them on Coronavirus patients. Are we safe at this point from these meds being hoarded?
My Humble Answer. HI. Thanks for the question. At the present time, hospitals have cut down on the use of nebulizers for COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 patients due to the threat of aerosolizing the virus. So the use of albuterol inhalers in the hospital setting has increased due to the COVID-19 outbreak. For this reason, some areas are seeing a shortage of albuterol inhalers. At the present time, I believe this is the only inhaler affected. Albuterol solution for nebulizers should still be available. Does this answer your question.
