Ventolin for COPD, Acute User Reviews

"Have been on ProAir, and my insurance company did not want to provide it to me anymore. They provided Ventolin, and from the first time I used it, I could tell it was not the same. Does not work. When you need a rescue inhaler, you want to get relief in minutes, not twenty minutes later. Most times, I had to use four to five puffs and still no relief. They say it is the same medication, but one works and the other does not. ProAir #1."

"I was prescribed for acute COPD. Since I've been using the inhaler, I have had fewer flare-ups. I am able to breathe a lot better."

"I do not like the new containers where the mouthpiece comes totally off. No strength in my fingers from arthritis, it’s very hard for me to take off. And just like everybody else, this does not help as good as it used to! Halfway through it being gone, it actually stops working. Just like breathing, halfway through it being gone, it actually stops working. Just like inhaling air, about the last 80 doses, it takes three or four hits off from it to even work a little. Please go back to the old containers where the mouthpiece stays connected!!"
