This inhaler is ABSOLUTE CRAP. My son has moderate, persistent asthma and has since age 3. When he was using his old inhaler, 2 puffs he was good for hours. On this one, he is going through it twice as fast and still not getting relief. He uses my inhaler, he is fine. His inhaler $75.00 co-pay. My inhaler (not covered by insurance) $30.00.

I use Proaire for exercise-induced asthma and for fast-acting problems from allergy induced asthma as well.

I use Proaire for exercise-induced asthma and for fast-acting problems from allergy induced asthma as well. I have used the standard Proaire inhaler for years and at times, have been given albuterol in its place. I am not a fan at all. After looking over the instructions for how to use the respi-click, I got that part down. While its a little differnt the the non "respi-click," models, it was easy enough to use. My complaint is that it doesnt work for very long. The initial effects take longer to set in and then the effectiveness of the med seems to subside quickly. I will also say that I use Synbacort daily for a long lasting broncodialator. I should not have to use this resp-click proaire as often as I have been these last few weeks from when I have received it. Standard pro-aire inhaler has been effctive, as in 2 puffs prior to exercise (1 full hour of cardio/rowing and weights). And only the occasional puff here and there when my allergies flare up. The Symbacort has not changed, only this proaire inhaler, the respi-click I was given in place of the normal version. Im not a fan....

The pump is difficult to use. I had too watch a video on YouTube while I was having difficulty breathing. The medication took several minutes to work. All the deep inhaling caused chest pain. I had to purchase an inhaler over the counter until I was able to obtain a prescription for the standard inhaler.

Seems as though it barely makes a difference. I still feel like I'm suffocating after use. Would prefer to go back to albuterol aerosol puffer that worked.
