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 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 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 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 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 HFA (albuterol) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: I have found this medication to work very well when I feel tight and have shortness of breath. My prescription calls for use every 6 hours but I use it when I feel I need to breath better.

albuterol for Asthma, acute: Albuterol is the best inhaler ever to me. It's fast acting and has a good rapid response. It does it's job and I was furious when they stopped giving Albuterol inhalers.

Proventil HFA (albuterol) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: Asthma, COPD. I love this inhaler. It works well and I use it less often than other inhalers I have used in the past.
I have had asthma for over 20 years. I was using another inhaler when the FDA changed it due to enviromental concerns about the propellents used. The inhaler the pharmacy replaced it with was very "wet" and seemed weak and that it stayed mainly in my mouth. It was actually the pharmacist who suggested Proventil HFA because I mentioned I prefer the "dryer" delivery of albuterol.

Ventolin HFA (albuterol) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: My husband has COPD and our doctor recently changed his albuterol inhaler to Ventolin. His other one was not working like it should. He has been on the Ventolin for about 2 weeks and it works great. He does not have to use it as much and it lasts much longer than his previous one. He loves this inhaler.

Vospire ER (albuterol) for Asthma, acute: Great medicine. I need a potent, systemic bronchiodilator in order for my other inhalers to get where they need to go. This is a really important facet to my plan. I wake up easier, am clear headed, have less depression, and more oxygen to my lungs/brain. I highly recommend it.

albuterol for Asthma, acute: I take it at the first sign of tightness or coughing and it provides relief from an attack within minutes. My doctor has combined it with a Qvar inhaler and my asthma is well managed.
