i used albuterol before and don't feel that the lasting results are as good with proair Published: October 07, 2007 ::

ProAir does not work for me, give me my cheaper CFC based inhaler. This stuff is not what I thought it was and I am looking for a replacement. Oh, and it costs more. I have mild asthma and the generic worked well. Be careful and see if it works, for me it does not. Published: October 21, 2007 ::

I have had asthma for 25 years and my albuterol inhaler has worked for me all this time. This new one is crap! Its delivery system sucks! I have had worse attacks since having been forced to use this one because someone thought the regular inhalers were harming the environment! Well, this inhaler is harming my health!! Guess I will have to see if I can get a good inhaler in Canada! Published: November 11, 2008 ::

Doesn't work at all for me. And not one health care professional I've tried to speak with about this, has given me any alternatives or really seemed to care. Published: December 17, 2007 ::

Actually I am trying to get more information on this product. My grand daughter is 2yrs. old and has been prescribed ProAir pump. Does this product contain steroids? Is is something a 2yr odl should be taking? Published: October 14, 2007 ::

You know that old saying "you get what you pay for". The canister constantly got clogged up. I had to run water through it to unclog it. If you're out in the middle of no-where, the inhaler wont work if it gets clogged up. I switched back to the Proventil HFA. I rather pay more money for medicine that will work.

The worst decision that healthcare providers could have made... Published: January 28, 2009 ::

Comment from: Peggy, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

Was changed to this inhaler by Medco without either my or physicians' approval. Developed severe rash, oxygen levels were lower by using this product, felt lathargic and tired. Do not use this product! Published: January 08, 2009 ::

Comment from: Eddie, 35-44 Male on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

ProAir simply doesn't work ... the pharm's Doctors who evaluated this product "claim" that this product works just as well as the old inhalers. Well although the quantity of med may be the same that is released, the propellant is far less, and there is NO immediate difference if you're having a bad attack. Stay away from this product, and try to get a old inhaler from Canada where they're still available. Also, sign the FDA complaint form, and call your congressman. Published: October 23, 2008 ::

This product doesn't work very well. The Albuterol is much better. Published: October 18, 2008 ::

Comment from: sharon, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

i do not get any results using this inhaler, it's nothing compare to albuterol. I feel like im getting sick from it. There has to be something better out there. Published: September 30, 2008 ::

Comment from: 55-64 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

The side effects I get are bad trembling, severe leg cramps, pounding heart, bad sweating, and it doesn't even work. I have to wait about 40 minutes to feel any slight relief. It's terrible!! Published: April 19, 2008 ::
