For Asthma, acute "Useless!!! I took it to my pulmonary doctor and told him nothing comes out. He said don't tip it, that the powder will fall out. Well, I kept paying for them trying to get some relief but never did. My copay being 40.00. I just kept thinking I was imagining there was nothing there. I decided to open one that showed zero doses left to see if the meds were gone. Guess what? All the med was still in it. No residue from the powder anywhere except inside the area they put it in. This was like the 4th inhaler I paid a 40.00 copay for. I feel like a repayment should be in order. That's not including all the freaking anxiety attacks I had trying to get medication out of these defective devices. My other powder inhaler, Anita, works great. Different device."

For Asthma, Maintenance "The ProAir RespiClick is horrible! I had called my pharmacy to have this prescription refilled, and they mentioned my old prescription for HFA had expired and that they would call my doctor to have it updated. At this point, my doctor's office nor the pharmacy wants to admit they had changed me to this medication, and now I'm stuck with three of these that provide absolutely no relief to me whatsoever. I had to Google videos on how to use this while I'm almost dying trying to figure this out. Once I guess I figured it out, it was terrible. They mention it's some powder, and I had to do five inhales, which is ridiculous, because if I can't breathe, how can I inhale this? Who creates these things? I can't even get a refund now for these three unused units! The units are horrible to use, so much they made my anxiety worsen, which made me breathe with even more difficulty."

For Asthma, acute "I personally have had a much better experience than most people with this inhaler - I don't find it difficult to breathe in the powder at all (maybe they changed something because I only started it less than a year ago?) Works better than the HFA inhaler I used to use in terms of helping my breathing and doesn't make my heart rate increase or make me shaky or anxious, which is especially useful when you already have anxiety."
