Comment:
Insurer switched from Ventolin to ProAir. I cannot get breathing relief from ProAir. I use four puffs and relief lasts for 20-30 minutes. I am also having a very bad cough with tightness in the chest. Not satisfied at all.

Comment:
I have been an asthma sufferer most of my life and I am 35 years old. This is by far the worst and least effective inhaler I have ever used. Unfortunately, its the one covered by my insurance. Its very troubling, that a medication that is supposed to assist in one of the bodies most important function, breathing, that it is ineffective. Its also quite scary to say the least!

Absolutely horrible. The inhaler constantly clogs and never works properly. I've had to go back to a nebulizer because this inhaler just doesn't work.
