LOL...I'll have to think on that as I can't recall now either! I remember that it came in a purple plastic disk, and the reason I stopped it was because it was found to (possibly) cause osteoporosis. As a petite, white female (high risk group for osteoporosis anyway), that wasn't something I wanted to mess around with. Now I just use my rescue inhaler (albuterol) if I am having a wheezy day. Fortunately, a couple of inhalers gets me through a year or more. Have not had to use it much here in Florida at all. Some places and some times of year, it gets a bit more usage.
