What liquid medicine was given for Asthma in the 1960's?

I am trying to remember what liquid medicine my Dr prescribed for me for asthma in the 1960's when I was approximately age 12. It was redish in color and contained some alcohol. Does anyone have any suggestions what it might have been?

  1. Hi there, after a quick google search it looks like the medicine may have been Asthmanefrin. Does this sound familiar? This medication was a brand of epinephrine and was used as a bronchodilator. Hope this helps! -Lauren (team member)
