What is Proair Hfa
SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It is a selective beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is 29 times more effective at targeting the lungs compared to the heart. Salbutamol is a mixture of two different isomers, the R- and S-isomers. The R-isomer is 150 times more effective than the S-isomer, but it is also more expensive. Salbutamol is used to treat acute episodes of bronchospasm, prevent exercise-induced asthma, and treat chronic respiratory disorders like COPD.

Effectiveness
How Proair Hfa Affects PatientsSalbutamol, also known as albuterol, is a drug used to open up the airways and make it easier to breathe. It works by stimulating the beta-1 and beta-2 receptors in the body, causing vasodilation, muscle relaxation, and a faster heartbeat. Although Salbutamol is mostly specific to the beta-2 receptors, it can still affect beta-1 receptors which can cause an increase in insulin and sugar levels in the blood. Salbutamol may also cause a decrease in potassium levels.
How Proair Hfa works in the bodySalbutamol works by activating beta2-adrenergic receptors on airway smooth muscle. This activates a chemical process that relaxes the muscle and lowers the amount of calcium in the cells. This reduces the tension in the muscles, allowing the airways to open up. Salbutamol also prevents the release of mediators from mast cells in the airway. It's usually effective within 5 to 15 minutes and can last up to 6 hours. It has fewer cardiovascular side effects than isoproterenol and produces more respiratory relief.

Proair Hfa Reviews: What are patients saying about Proair Hfa?
5Patient Review
7/27/2022 I have seen people complain about only getting 40 good puffs out of this before it clogs. My friend suggested that I rinse the applicator under running hot water, let it air dry overnight, and shake it at least 20 times before using. This has worked really well for me and I haven't had any issues since.
5Patient Review
4/17/2017 Works really quickly for me, which is a lifesaver given my asthma.
4.3Patient Review
12/1/2017 I've been using this since March 2017 to help manage my breathing. So far, it's been effective in helping me avoid triggering an attack.
2Patient Review
12/16/2017 This inhaler didn't work very well for my severe asthma and it's extremely expensive.
1.7Patient Review
6/10/2019 This inhaler is effective when it works, but only for about 60 puffs. After that, the spray nozzle gets clogged and it's effectively useless. As someone with asthma, this is not a very comforting feeling.
1Patient Review
8/31/2017 In my 40 years of experience with asthma, I have found PROAIR to be the worst inhaler on the market. VENTOLIN is much more effective in my opinion. It seems like the decision to stop production of the other inhalers was made by people who don't suffer from asthma and don't understand how important a good inhaler can be.
1Patient Review
1/25/2017 I sought out medical attention for my cough at an urgent care, and they prescribed me this inhaler. Unfortunately, it did nothing to improve my condition over the course of four or five days. If you're considering this medication, I would recommend looking elsewhere – Symbicort worked much better for me.
1Patient Review
4/29/2018 My husband needed to start using an inhaler and Ventolin worked great for him, but then his doctor prescribed Proventil and our insurance gave us ProAir. The pump was faulty from the beginning; I never experienced this issue when I had asthma years ago. It's a waste of money and it's dangerous--this should be taken off the market.
1Patient Review
11/29/2017 Do not bother with this inhaler. It actually makes your breathing worse by using a powder instead of liquid. I've had to go to the ER twice now because Walgreens won't give me Proventil, which is what my doctor prescribed in the first place.
1Patient Review
1/9/2019 The propulsion system is way too weak on this product. I often can't tell if I'm actually receiving the medication or not. It's very scary not knowing whether or not the invisible mist is working, but my insurance won't pay for anything else. If you can, try to get a different prescription from your doctor.
1Patient Review
5/18/2021 The new design for this inhaler is really not good. You just have to huff it, and there's no indicator if you're actually getting any medicine. I'm worried that if I have a real asthma attack, I won't be able to get the right dosage because of how hard you have to puff. Avoid this new model altogether and stick with the old one.
1Patient Review
2/12/2017 This medication didn't do much for me, and actually made my symptoms worse.
1Patient Review
8/4/2020 I have both asthma and RA, which makes using my hands difficult. Proair is very hard for me to use; I can't open the lid or compress the canister, so it doesn't help me during an asthma attack. It's also more expensive than other inhalers that actually work.
1Patient Review
9/5/2018 This product has not worked for me at all, and the delivery system has failed on three separate occasions. I've had to get replacements from my pharmacy, but it's been an expensive process.
1Patient Review
2/9/2017 I think this drug is dangerous and not at all effective. My pharmacist told me that the doctors who prescribe proair receive a "thank you" payment of $25 from the pharmaceutical company. I find this unethical and will be asking my doctor to switch my prescription next week.
1Patient Review
9/7/2022 I was very disappointed with this product. It spits instead of making a mist, and I saw no relief from my asthma symptoms.
