If it weren't for this amazing drug and neb I'm sure I'd be in the hospital. I get yearly pnemonia & bronchitus(sp)...yes both and each time I "get" to spend time in the ER, plus I have severe Asthma. I've been blessed with a Neb and the medication and it has truly been a Godsend! I just got over both the above issues without any visit to the ER, all due to the Neb & med!! AMAZING!! I've had my Da...

The medicine seems to barely make it out of the inhaler-the propellant or force is very weak. Hard to tell if I am getting anything. Does not work well - does not last or work on relieving my asthma. I am a long time -decades- user of Albuterol and this is the worst product I have ever used. Why CVS are you giving us this inferior product.

I’ve had as much for a very long time. The inhaler that I have now is manufactured by CIPLA. It is 90 MCG, and it says it was a dose indicator which there’s no indicator. This medication does not work! I used to use PRO AIR, but they no longer make that one. My doctor is trying to find other ones for me. This is what the Pharmacy gave me a couple of times and it just does not work. It’s not fast acting, it doesn’t open up the airways, it doesn’t stop the wheezing and heavy breathing! I say stay away from this one!Read More Read Less

This is the only inhaler I've ever used, so I'm not sure how good it is compared to others. However, I would say that it's not very good. Like other reviews stated, it's quite large and won't fit in some pockets. Instead of helping me breathe after two puffs, it usually only makes me shaky. It's annoying to have to go over the amount I'm supposed to just to be able to breathe. The cap also comes off very frequently so the canister is always filled with dirt and fuzz.

I asked then walgreens pharmacy for my regular blue inhaler and they brought me this ciplo thing without asking. I couldn't feel the medicine, it made my lungs feel over inflated in a scary way and my tongue broke out in blisters. Im so upset, I dont car if I have to pay more, this harmed me! and they have been in trouble for producing defective products. Im going back tomorrow and getting my money back.

It clogs constantly, I suspect the problem is not with the dispenser itself,but with not enough aerosol in the canister to push the product through the dispenser. Whatever the case, this issue has persisted for years. And inexplicably this inferior and or defective product has a virtual monopoly in this area, how can this be in a supposed free market? The product does work pretty well IF it's not clogged. If it is, let's hope you are near a water source to rinse it. BTW love ya WebMD

This is the most ineffective albuterol rescue inhaler I have ever used, in the 20 yrs I’ve been using them. It just really doesn’t work. After taking WAY too many puffs on this, I dug out an expired - yes expired - Pro Air from last year, and that worked right away! It finally helped. But the damage was already done from waiting too long trying to get this new one to work, and I ended up in the ER for a breathing treatment. I pleaded with the pharmacy to give me something else instead of this, and I was told this is the only one they are giving! I am scared for my future, if this is my only option when I get sick.

I was asthma free for a number of years until the govt started spraying our skies with nano particles of aluminum bring back asthma like symptoms but a lot worse than I had years ago. My insurance won't cover anything other than Albuterol. I had been using the inhaler and nebulizer only making my attacks more often and worse. I am experiencing about 80 of the so-called side effects as in Heart racing and palpitation, vision problems - blurring, kalidescope to the point I am completely blinded, flashing and dark spots, Parkinsons like symptoms as in shaking, leg cramps, insomnia, massive amounts of mucus is constant, unable to think or concentrate due to lack of sleep, 24 hour problems breathing with little relief, coughing/hacking, can't walk 10' without going into attack, I can just be sitting reading and attacks come on, I can't do normal activities any more. Before I was asthma free I used to use Proventil or Primatine Mist inhalers. Those gave me relief for hours. But with the govt polluting or environment these symptoms appear to doctors as asthma. My asthma used to give me warning signs before the attack. Now it is a constant attack. I had become asthma free after extensive restoration of my moms house that I did myself. I found mold hidden in the exterior walls and other places, I removed all the blow in insulation and replaced it with vapor barriers cleaned and removed all the asbestos off of the forced heating ducts and it was like night and day. I no longer had asthma and all the triggers were gone. Then in 2006 I noticed the lines in the sky the next year more the next year after that even more by 2009 the lines in a grid pattern completely covered the sky blocking the sun. That's when it brought me one of the worst attacks I have experienced being a former moderate asthmatic which is the most deadly since you never know how bad the attack will be. It had almost killed me before lips turning blue the hospital had to give me 2 does of adrenaline to finally get it to subside. I had become asthmatic after being given a vaccine as a child at school. Albuterol is one of the worst products on the market along with Alupent. I went off the Albuterol when I found that they put Primatime inhalers back on the shelf. The price in after 10 yrs off the market had tripled. Inhalers is like Russian Roulette one squirt too many can kill you. I would rather be back not having to depend on a medication to live my life but the govt won't let that happen since all our people in office have pharmaceutical company's in their investment portfolios. Anyone diagnosed with "Asthma" as an adult after 2009 should be suspect. Read More Read Less

Inhaler does not always admit a dose. Sometimes you can squeeze the damn thing multiple times and have nothing come out. Then it will correct itself but still shows as if the doses have been taken but nothing was rendered. Have complained to Kaiser.

i HATE this rescue inhaler! My local Walmart pharmacy forced me to switch from my awesome blue inhaler to this one. With Cipla's inhaler, the counter is not precise and I cannot feel the medicine as I use it. The mouthpiece has a built-in spacer, which I also HATE. I can't feel the medicine when I take it and if it works, it doesn't work nearly as well as the blue inhaler. Cipla should be forced to take this piece of garbage off the market and give people like me their blue inhalers back, My asthma is WORSE,Read More Read Less

It seems as though we are taking a step backward in treating asthma with some of these inhalers that I feel are inferior as to the ease of use and what they once were. My doctor gave me a prescription for Cipla (Manufacturer) Albuterol Sulfate 90mcg. I recently had un URI that went into bronchitis and sparked my asthma. I attempted to use this but it was terrible. After priming the thing about 4 or 5 times it easily sprayed into the sink. But when I used it directly, it was hard to push without two hands and I couldn't feel it coming into my mouth or lungs. I've had plenty of inhalers that were far easier and superior in using. When you NEED the inhaler you hope that it works and delivers the product. I had to get on a nebulizer with Albuterol to deliver the medicine. That is rare for me.Read More Read Less

My insurance will not pay for generic ventolin. My insurance will pay for Tevas. Now here is a little fact. My insurance cost me 12.50 per inhaler for the Teva junk. I have go on Amazon pharmacy and buy the generic ventolin for 20 not using insurance. It is 50-70 at your local pharmacies. So, I no longer get the Teva albuterol. If you do this make sure you don't give Amazon your insurance so they bill you the non-insurance rate.

As a side-effect of another condition, I developed adult-onset asthma in 2015. It's been a roller coaster, but I'm pretty well managed on medications now. I keep an Albuterol Sulfate rescue inhaler around just in case. Have been using Teva HFA until recently, when insurance switched me to the generic Cipla version. Jury is still out on the switchover. I must say that for a long time I felt as though my asthma was unmanaged and often the prescribed Rx's I was taking wouldn't touch it. I got used to (and exhausted from) riding out multiple attacks per day. Around 2018 or 2019, I made a concerted effort to rid my diet of inflammatory foods and most carbs. I did a round of oral prednisone to clear myself up, then ditched fast food, soda, snacks out of a bag or box, Omega 6 oils, etc. My diet change was more effective in reducing asthma attacks than the Rx's I was using. Since my diet change, I have only had to use my rescue inhaler a handful of times in 3 years, and I no longer panic when I forget to bring it with me. If you still suffer from acute asthma attacks and haven't considered your diet, I encourage you to research the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet. A bonus for me was that I lost 50 pounds in addition to getting my asthma under control. I'm still on low dose asthma meds but have been able to stop some of them since my diet change and weight loss. Good luck to you! Read More Read Less

Have been using Albuterol inhalers for over a decade. Two recent inhalers have failed to deliver correctly; one Sandoz and one PAR pharmaceuticals. several Sandoz OK. you either have to push EXTREMEMLY hard to get your dosage, or it delivers propellant but no albuteral. will work with pharmacy

As a person with Asthma over the last 40 years and managing it quite well. I have to caution the manufacturer and those who are considering this product,Teva Albuterol Sulphate Drug of the harshness of this medication hitting my lungs. It would cause bronchospasms and complicated my recovery. I was like, what is going on with this medication? I was able to get switched over to nebulizer inhalation therapy to a much better treatment experience.
