Can I boil albuterol and breathe in the fumes?!


Question: I'm having an asthma/panic attack and I can find my inhaler. I've searched everywhere.
I no longer have my machine but I do have a few little tubes of albuterol. I know I'm supposed to breathe in the albuterol fog so could I put the albuterol in a pot and boil it or should I add water to it? What do I do? Please help!

You should always have more then one inhaler,and about albuterol,I would suggest putting in a bowl with a little boiling water,then breathe in the steam with a clothe around your head and the bowl.But get medical help A.S.AP.

Could you quickly put it in a misting spray bottle?

I am no chemist----- but it may change the components of the albuterol and make it posionous. You might want to call a 24 hour pharmacy and ask the pharmacist.
What about breathing into a paper bag?

Coffee is said to contain epinephrine, which is a chemical that is said to temporarily relieve the symptoms of asthma, but if you are having an asthma attack you need to go to the emergency room at the hospital and get another inhaler, as coffee is certainly not guaranteed to help. It does not matter
if you have no money because they will bill you. They can not
refuse to treat you. If I were you I would not sleep until I had another inhaler handy, because from what I understand an asthma attack can kill you fairly easily.
