What is Proventil
SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It is designed to target the beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, as opposed to beta1-adrenergic receptors located in the heart. Salbutamol is a mixture of two isomers, of which one is more effective and the other can be toxic. To avoid this issue, a single isomer version of the drug called levalbuterol was developed, but it is more expensive than salbutamol. Salbutamol is usually used for short-term relief of asthma symptoms, or as a preventative measure for

Effectiveness
How Proventil Affects PatientsSalbutamol (also known as albuterol) is a medicine used to open up breathing passages in people with asthma and other lung problems. It works by stimulating the beta-1 and beta-2 receptors in the body, which can cause increased heart rate, relaxed blood vessels, and muscle tremor. Taking salbutamol can also cause changes in blood sugar and insulin levels, and can lower potassium levels. The levalbuterol version of salbutamol is made from only the R-enantiomer and is believed to cause fewer side effects.
How Proventil works in the bodySalbutamol is a medication that relaxes the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It works by targeting and activating beta2-adrenergic receptors, which then triggers a series of reactions that lead to the relaxation of the smooth muscle in the airways. Salbutamol can also reduce inflammation in the airways by stopping the release of substances from mast cells. While it does affect heart rate and blood pressure, it does so less than other similar drugs. Salbutamol usually starts working within 5-15 minutes, and its effects last for 3-6 hours.

Proventil Reviews: What are patients saying about Proventil?
5Patient Review
7/21/2011 I've been using this medicine for two weeks and, unfortunately, find that I need it more frequently to relieve my breathing. Additionally, I now have muscle cramps in my lower leg--a side effect of the medication. I'm going to ask the doctor if there's anything else I can take to help with my asthma.

8/13/20104.7Patient Review
6/6/2012 I began this treatment recently and it has already had a positive effect on my wheezing and breathing.
4.3Patient Review
6/9/2013 This medication provides me with much needed relief from my shortness of breath.
4.3Patient Review
7/14/2012 I've used this for approximately six months. It may be losing its efficacy; it used to last six hours but now only lasts four. I also tried Qvar and Singulair, neither of which had any impact whatsoever. Proventil is effective, though not as quick-acting as the old albuterol.
4.3Patient Review
4/4/2015 I find it difficult to tell when the medication is running low; a counter on the device would be helpful for this. Despite that, it's been effective in helping me manage bronchitis.
4Patient Review
6/3/2013 I'm not sure if this is the same as Ventolin HFA, but it worked well for me.
4Patient Review
11/18/2011 My doctor gave me this inhaler to help with my shortness of breath that is caused by anxiety. However, I haven't found it to be effective at all.
3Patient Review
2/18/2011 This inhaler is a lifesaver! I was using regular albuteral before and it almost landed me in the hospital. This inhaler helped immediately and I can finally breathe freely again. It's an amazing feeling!
2.7Patient Review
8/11/20102.7Patient Review
12/23/2014 The worst part about using rescue inhalers is the lack of confidence in their effectiveness.
2.3Patient Review
10/29/20102.3Patient Review
12/27/2012 The taste is really bad, and I don't think it's as effective as Ventolin.
2.3Patient Review
9/10/2014 One of the worst things about this inhaler is that there's no counter, so you can't tell how many doses are left. This makes it really difficult to plan ahead and know when you need to get a new one. I just took two puffs, but now I have no idea if there's anything left in the canister. I had to call my doctor for a new script, just in case.
Patient Q&A Section about proventil
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Is albuterol and Proventil the same thing?
"The brand names for albuterol inhalers include Ventolin HFA, ProAir HFA, Proventil HFA, and ProAir RespiClick. These four medications come in an L-shaped inhaler."
Answered by AI
What is Proventil used for?
"Albuterol is used to treat and prevent wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Exercise-induced asthma can also be treated with albuterol. The drug provides quick relief."
Answered by AI
Why is Proventil no longer available?
"Merck has stopped making Proventil HFA inhalers and Par has stopped making albuterol HFA inhalers. Perrigo has also stopped making albuterol HFA 8.5 gram inhalers. This is because there was a problem with the inhalers getting blocked, which the company discovered in September 2020."
Answered by AI
Is Proventil inhaler a steroid?
"Do steroids come in Ventolin?
No, Ventolin does not contain steroids."
