A drug name that sounds like it should be a metal band

Serevent Diskus

I took Serevent when I was a kid for Asthma a few times. At the time, it was not a disk but a regular inhaler. I hated it and its chemical taste. It was the dreaded green inhaler. I much preferred the yellow inhaler (Proventil) or the pink inhaler (don’t remember what the hell that was).

I imagine the disk thing is because of the ban of CFC-based propellants. This ban has laid low the inhaler industry. The yellow inhaler used to be my favorite because if you took 6 or 7 puffs it would get you sort of high, but the CFC-less version did not do this and tasted even worse than the green inhaler had.

None of this is at all relevant to the drug sounding like a metal band (black metal, I think. It just needs a couple umlauts). Just reminded of various childhood memories is all.
