"Most of the time, my newest Proventil inhalers do not give a puff if needed about half the time. Used it for years with no problems. Now, malfunctioning inhalers are so prevalent, I have three wasted in my med drawer. Will ask for new med to replace Proventil."

"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 breathe better."

"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 environmental concerns about the propellants 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 'drier' delivery of albuterol."
