    The only drawback to this drug it makes you tremble, and if that is the least side effect to my recovering than I say "Bravo" Published: March 20, 2008 ::

    I'm taking this inhaler for 1 week for bronchitis. The aftertaste isn't good, but it effectively clears my bronchial tubes. I would take again if needed. Published: November 19, 2008 ::

    While Proventil *seems* to have a softer spray than plain albuterol (CFC inhalers), I find it easier to use. It doesn't seem as if most of the med ends up on the back of my throat. The taste is also far better :-) I just switched and I don't think I'll go back! While a regular albuterol inhaler only costs me $4 each and Proventil is a $30 copay, it's worth it.

    It works really well for me. I was on a generic brand and it wasnt as good as this. Published: March 22, 2008 ::

    When using this medication I get a very warm uncomfortable feeling in my chest and lungs. It makes me sick on my stomach. I used the albuterol (old one) for 33 years and never had a problem. For myself taking that one off the market was a very big mistake for severe asthma suffers. I wish I new where to order the real inhaler. Published: June 15, 2009 ::

    Comment from: COPD sufferer, 55-64 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

    I have been on Symbicort for 2 years. Proventil works so much better in opening the airways. Cost with no insurance is $48 at WalMart. It's worth it to be able to breath. Published: June 15, 2009 ::

    My Dr. put me on this for COPD. I find it works quickly and is easy to use. Will continue with the treatment. Published: April 13, 2009 ::

    It works wonders but my insurance did not pay but only $1.00 on this. What else works this well at a lower price. This is not the only medication I take, and when I picked it up I was floored as to the cost of this medication.If I did not need it I would of not gotten it. Published: April 04, 2009 ::

    Comment from: Tony.A, 65-74 Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

    opens airway very fast. I have to discharge it before using to make sure the med is being released. Better if it had a counter on it like Ventolin. Published: October 27, 2008 ::
