The pharmaceutical industry has spent over one billion U.S. dollars to reformulate CFC MDIs and considerable continued investment will be necessary to complete the transition. This hard work and investment are now bearing fruit. In 1995, the first HFC MDI was introduced in several countries. Since that time, the industry has made significant and continued progress in bringing the new generation of inhalers to patients around the world, both in developed and developing countries.
