If they dont call you back OR the pharmacist does nothing to rectify this matter and it sure is a serious matter as we know a life could be at stake. Contact your local newspaper OR televison station. They are always glad to do reports on stuff like this especially if nothing has been done and lives are at stake. PS... when u contact them.. Make sure u have copies of it. Write them a letter and copy it. If they do call you back record the call. same thing with you calling them. im dead serious about contacting the newspaper or News station. these drug companies are making millions and if they are neglecting faulty drug Issues The public needs to know about it, before a life is lost! Take care hun and if possible have your Dr give you a different medicine from a different company.

Teva really needs to know about this. Your canisters may have come from a defective batch - in which case there will need to be a recall.

You can email them using the form at http://www.tevausa.com/default.aspx?pageid=74 if you are having no luck calling 888 TEVA USA (888.838.2872).

You should also consider reporting this to the FDA. They take manufacturing complaints very seriously especially when it involved safety concerns.

I know it has been awhile and you probably have the answer, but here goes. I use ProAir also. What happens is the little spout where the medicine comes out gets clogged. Just take and canister out of the inhaler case, run warm water through the case several times until the little hole is clean, let dry completely and replace the canister. Can't tell you how many I threw out because I thought they were no good. These instructions are on the paper that comes in the box with the inhaler, but who reads that... not me...
