Generic Proventil HFA inhalers deliver albuterol, a fast-acting bronchodilator, directly to your lungs. Albuterol relaxes the muscles surrounding your airways, widening them and making it easier to breathe.
The inhaler uses a propellant to deliver a fine mist containing the medication. You inhale the mist, allowing albuterol to reach the affected areas quickly. This rapid action provides relief from wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Proper use is key. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Make sure to shake the inhaler well before each use and coordinate your inhalation with the actuation of the inhaler. This ensures you receive the correct dose. A spacer can improve medication delivery for some users.
Remember: Generic Proventil HFA inhalers work similarly to brand-name Proventil HFA. They contain the same active ingredient and are regulated by the FDA to ensure quality and safety. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions regarding usage or side effects.
Seek immediate medical attention if your breathing problems worsen despite using your inhaler.
