What is Ventolin Hfa
SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a short-term medication used to treat asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other breathing issues. It works by activating beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs which helps to relax the airways and make it easier to breathe. Salbutamol is a combination of two forms, R- and S-isomers, but the R-isomer is more effective. A pure version of this drug, called levalbuterol, is available but it is more expensive than salbutamol. Salbutamol can be used to treat acute episodes of breathing difficulty, as well as for

Effectiveness
How Ventolin Hfa Affects PatientsSalbutamol (INN) or albuterol (USAN) is a drug used to help people with asthma and other airway diseases breathe better. It works by stimulating receptors in the body (beta-1, beta-2, etc), which can lead to effects such as increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, muscle tremors, and relaxed uterine muscles. Other side effects of taking Salbutamol include changes in blood sugar levels and decreased potassium levels. Levalbuterol is a form of Salbutamol that is believed to cause fewer side effects as it only contains the R-enanti
How Ventolin Hfa works in the bodySalbutamol works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing the airways to open up and making it easier to breathe. It mainly works on beta2-adrenergic receptors, which are found in the lungs and heart. When these receptors are activated, a chemical called cyclic AMP increases, which relaxes the muscles and lowers the amount of calcium in the cells. This leads to relaxation of the airway muscles and better airflow. Salbutamol also stops cells in the airway from releasing substances that can cause airway constriction. The effects of salbutamol usually start within 5-15 minutes

Ventolin Hfa Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking too much albuterol can cause side effects such as seizures, chest pain, high or low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, shaking, headache, dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, feeling unwell, difficulty sleeping, high blood sugar, low potassium, and acid build-up in the body. It is not known if albuterol passes into breast milk, so pregnant and nursing mothers should talk with their doctor about the risks. Albuterol has not been tested in children under 4 years of age. Older adults may need to start with a lower dose as they may be more sensitive to the drug. The toxic dose

Ventolin Hfa Reviews: What are patients saying about Ventolin Hfa?
5Patient Review
8/14/2015 I use this medication for my chronic asthma and it's helped a lot with my breathing difficulties, especially during exercise. I haven't experienced any negative side effects that I'm aware of.
5Patient Review
4/14/2016 I don't like the feeling of anxiety and nervousness after taking this medication, and it doesn't seem to help very much.
5Patient Review
6/13/2016 This treatment opens up my lungs within minutes, which is great for when I get bronchitis.
5Patient Review
10/12/2018 I was really struggling to breathe before I picked this up from the pharmacy. Once I got it, though, just a couple of sprays cleared me right up. I felt great afterwards--a little shaky, but that's nothing compared to not being able to breathe!
5Patient Review
11/15/2021 I was born with asthma and this inhaler has been a great help to me. I don't use it as often as my other inhaler, Symbicort, because Proair contains alcohol which makes it taste bad.
5Patient Review

2/8/20155Patient Review
11/22/2017 Ventolin is, without a doubt, the best medication for asthma attacks. I am asthmatic and it has saved my life on more than one occasion.
3.7Patient Review
12/28/2016 I'm a bit frustrated that this only lasted me around 150 puffs. It's tier 2 with my HMO and cost $40, so I was expecting it to last the full 200 puffs as advertised.
2.7Patient Review
2/14/2016 I've been using Ventolin for years now and it's really effective. No negative side effects that I've noticed, which is great.
2.3Patient Review
11/5/2017 I tried the new Ventolin HFA inhaler and it was completely ineffective. I still had some ProAir left, so in desperation, I used that instead and felt an immediate difference. My asthma has been really bad all week, and I think using the Ventolin has only made it worse! Don't assume that just because a doctor prescribed it that it's good for you!
2.3Patient Review
5/15/2018 This medication did not help my child's asthma at all.
2.3Patient Review
5/15/2018 I've only used this treatment once, so I can't speak to its long-term effectiveness.
1Patient Review
11/5/2017 I tried the new Ventolin HFA inhaler and it was completely ineffective. In desperation, I used my old ProAir HFA inhaler and felt relief immediately. I think using the Ventolin actually made my asthma worse this week. Don't assume that a drug is good for you just because your doctor prescribed it!
1Patient Review
11/21/2016 I had some really serious and unfortunate side effects from Ventolin, including but not limited to: bone pain, cramps in various muscles groups, back pain, headaches, sleeplessness, a cough with sputum production, and hoarseness. Even after stopping the medication 6 weeks ago, I'm still experiencing muscle pain and cramping.
1Patient Review
4/10/2017 Though this drug worked when administered through a tube at the doctor, I haven't had any success with the inhaler.
1Patient Review
1/26/2017 For about 30 years, a Ventolin inhaler was very effective for me. It became totally ineffective when the chemical composition was changed from Albuterol USP to Albuterol Sulfate. The Sulfate derivative simply did not work. That chemical change occurred when the propellant was changed from CFC to HFA. Fortunately, I found Xopenex (levalbuterol) as an effective alternative.
Patient Q&A Section about ventolin hfa
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Is Ventolin HFA the same as albuterol?
"Ventolin HFA is an inhaler that contains the drug albuterol sulfate. Ventolin HFA is a rescue inhaler and belongs to a class of drugs called short-acting beta2-agonists."
Answered by AI
Is Ventolin HFA inhaler a steroid?
"Ventolin does not contain steroids. Ventolin contains the active ingredient albuterol, which is a beta agonist that relaxes the smooth muscle in the airways, making it easier to breathe."
Answered by AI
What is Ventolin HFA used for?
"It is not known if VENTOLIN HFA is safe and effective in children under 4 years of age.
This is a prescription inhaled medicine used to either treat or prevent bronchospasm in people aged 4 years or older who have reversible obstructive airway disease. It can also be used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) in patients aged 4 years or older. However, it is not known if it is safe and effective in children under 4 years of age."
Answered by AI
How often can I use Ventolin inhaler?
"Breathe in the medicine as your doctor has told you to, usually 4 to 6 hours as needed. The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine and how well it works for you. Do not take more medicine than your doctor has prescribed."
