User Reviews for Albuterol

Ventolin (albuterol) for Asthma, acute: I can't believe I suffered so long before I went to the doctor and he prescribed Ventolin to me. It has made my breathing so much easier. The only negatives at all is sometimes I'm dizzy for a while after using it, but that's to be expected.

Ventolin (albuterol) for COPD, Acute: I was prescribed for acute COPD. Since I've been using the inhaler I have had less flare-ups. I am able to breathe a lot better.

albuterol for Bronchiectasis: Anxiety, tremors, dry mouth.

Ventolin HFA (albuterol) for COPD, Maintenance: I have been prescribed several maintenance medications to control my COPD over the past 4 years. Ventolin has proved to be, by far, the best medication I have used. Very quick acting & reassuring.

Proventil HFA (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: Since I have been on Pro-Air I haven't been experiencing shortness of breath as much and it has helped my chronic bronchitis as well

Vospire ER (albuterol) for Bronchospasm Prophylaxis: Severe allergic reactions (hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, and tongue) ear pain.

albuterol for Bronchospasm Prophylaxis: My doctor put me on this because I have sleep apnea and have trouble breathing when I go to sleep. Because of my extreme weight loss I have been able to lower my CPAP pressure to the lowest setting and I use my inhaler each night before bed to help my breathing to be able to fall asleep. I doesn't help though if I'm already short of breath. I have no side effects and have been using it for 3 years.

Proventil HFA (albuterol) for Asthma, acute: I have allergy-induced asthma, not true asthma. (sometimes my allergies and sinuses get so bad I get asthma attacks"). My allergy doctor prescribed Proventil HFA to me last year and though I don't use it often, it has helped when I needed it. Only one downfall, it makes me SO jittery. This is a common side effect because you're basically getting a shot of adrenaline in each puff. I find it's best to walk/move around a little after taking it to help wear off the jitters. Because of this side effect, I only use it when I really need it.

Proventil (albuterol) for COPD, Acute: I find that using 30 minutes before activity is much more helpful than the recommended 10 - 15 minutes. My COPD is in the moderate stage.

Ventolin HFA (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: Best working inhaler I have found.

Ventolin (albuterol) for COPD, Maintenance: It works.

ProAir HFA (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: This delivers the medication in powder form in a more environmentally friendly way, but seems thus also to have diminished effectiveness. Cost is also creeping up over the last 24 months (now $43 per unit, roughly a 23% increase overall in 2 years). It is perhaps the best there is, but no substitute for the previous modes of delivery, and a marginal drug value.

Ventolin (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: I use it, have for a real long time. I am on maintenance, I don't need one daily, have in the past and know that I may again. Well either maintenance or regular it has always been a big part of my life and it works very well. Where would I be without it?

Proventil HFA (albuterol): This helped me very much. I have had a few side effects but other than that, my asthma didn't bother me much.

Proventil (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: It works, but every time I use it it causes my heart to speed up really fast and my hands to shake. I avoid it, and I won't use it even if I know I should. I've used it between or during classes and had a hard time note taking because my hands would not stay still. Of course, the important thing is being able to breathe...

Ventolin (albuterol) for Bronchospasm Prophylaxis: I got really tachycardic after using this medicaton.

Ventolin HFA (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: Preferred to others.

albuterol for Asthma, acute: This is a real lifesaver (literally). I can´t remember how many times this has eased my breathing

Proventil (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: If it weren't for this drug, I would not be alive. It has saved my life on numerous occasions of asthma attacks. I love it.

albuterol for Asthma, acute: This has helped me with my asthma ever since I was a little girl. I'm 19 now and until this day I use it! Whoever made this medication was thinking correctly. I appreciate it.

albuterol for Asthma, acute: It works great as long as you are NOT allergic to sulfa drugs, sulfates or sulfites! If you are allergic to any of those, you might want to talk to your doctor before you take albuterol sulfate. It made my asthma worse, every time I used it. Once I stopped using it, my asthma was nearly gone by the next day. It turned out that not only can't I use sulfa drugs, I cannot use this medication to quickly stop an asthma attack. Unfortunately, I know three other people (friends of mine) who had the same reaction to this inhaler. They also, are allergic to sulfa drugs. The drug companies need to come up with an albuterol inhaler that does not use sulfates.

albuterol for COPD, Acute: I have been using Albuterol for approximately 15 years, and find it exceptional. I have Emphysema, and do not leave home without it.

albuterol for COPD, Acute: I took Alupent for years. Worked okay but drug was discontinued because manufactured wouldn't convert to new propellant in April of '09. Got prescription for Albuterol and within days was in hospital with acute bronchospasm. Every treatment the hospital gave me with Oxygen and Albuterol caused my lungs to shut down. This is apparently rare, but if it isn't working for you, yell, loudly. I am currently on Maxair - works okay.

Proventil (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: Works efficiently. I've experienced NO Side Effects. I can count on this medication to work when I need it.

Proventil (albuterol) for Asthma, Maintenance: I do not go anywhere without it!
