Ventolin HFA seems to be more effective than ProAir HFA. Also, it has a built-in dose counter so I can know when I need to order a refill.

This drug and Proventil both made my ears ring, and almost immediately caused a very nervous sensation. Repeated usage caused me to have Panic Attacks which required a 5mg of Buspirone to settle me down. A second 5 mg of Buspirone was needed to stop the nervousness and ear ringing let up drastically after the second dose about 6 hours later. Please be careful taking this drug or any with Albute...

i need to know if the delivery vehicle "oilec acid" is peanut oil? I am alergic to peanuts and found that Combivent contains "oilec acid" and turned out to be actually a cryptic name for PEANUT OIL.

I have has asthma since I was 8. Since I started using this medication I have had no problems with my asthma. It's prevented asthma attacks that I was at risk of getting during my horseback riding and karate lessons.

Please be careful taking this drug or any with Albuterol Sulfate base as you might get the same reaction. I have used Primatene Mist and others since I was a child and am 70 years old now. They never gave me anything worse than a "racy pulse" sensation. If one puff was inhaled, usually no reaction was had and the relief was almost immediate.Read More Read Less
