New inhaler design is not smart at all. There’s nothing to press at all. You literally just huff it. Can’t taste it can’t tell I got a puff at all, no change at all. My worry is since there’s no button to press and I really have an asthma attack how am I going to be able to puff it hard enough to get the medicine. Very poor design do not buy the new inhaler at all and just request the old one.

I don't generally need a rescue inhaler, but while getting over the flu, I was uncomfortable with wheezing, and the doctor prescribed the ProAir HFA. I know how to use an inhaler from previous wheezing episodes, and in stark contrast to my previous experiences with Ventolin inhalers, this inhaler is showing no signs of working.

I know how to use an inhaler from previous wheezing episodes, and in stark contrast to my previous experiences with Ventolin inhalers, this inhaler is showing no signs of working. I get no relief of symptoms, and can't see any evidence medicine is being dispensed. It makes it very tempting to take repeated doses, especially when I'm so uncomfortable. Given the other reviews of this product, I'm amazed it's still on the market.

This inhaler is effective when it works. After 60 puffs it clogs and will no longer spray out. It is not very comforting having asthma and not knowing if the inhaler will work when you need it

This is an awful product. The propulsion system is too weak. Sometimes I don't know if I received a dose with my spacer. Can't see or feel the mist. It's like voodoo. Maybe you won't die today if the invisible medication works. Very scary but my insurance won't pay for the ventolin any longer. Try to get anything else from your Dr.

I would like to contact the pharmaceutical company directly, but the quality of this inhaler is terrible. It constantly clogs and you have to run it under water all the time to unclog it. The metered puffs are also inconsistent- one puff will be full and the next will be next to nothing.

The metered puffs are also inconsistent- one puff will be full and the next will be next to nothing. The albuterol does help my asthma and ease my breathing but the inconsistency and flimsiness is something for the manufacturer to be embarrassed of. I don�t think I�ve ever gotten a full 200 metered use out of it. Disappointed.
