Metered-dose inhalers are an essential treatment for the two most common respiratory diseases in the United States: asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; 144 million metered-dose inhalers were prescribed in 2020 alone. But as climate change continues to affect the health of patients with respiratory diseases, it is now understood that the metered-dose inhalers patients depend on are contributing to the climate change crisis. Gregg L. Furie, MD, MHS, Medical Director of Climate and Sustainability at Brigham and Women s Hospital joins host Jodi F. Abbott, MD, MSc, MHCM, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and Medical Director for the American Medical Association (AMA) Ed Hub to discuss practical changes that clinicians can implement to reduce the climate impact of metered-dose inhalers, while prioritizing patient care.
