Albuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. Albuterol (also known as salbutamol) is used to prevent and treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It is also used to prevent asthma brought on by exercise.
The actual price you’ll pay for any of these drugs depends on your insurance plan, your location, and the pharmacy you use. When used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm, these drugs are each taken as two puffs 15 to 30 minutes before exercise. Because of this, these medications are expected to have very similar side effects. These two drugs are ProAir HFA and Proventil HFA.
Proventil HFA is one of the trade names for albuterol sulfate, also known as salbutamol sulfate. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that is used to prevent and treat bronchospasm in people suffering from reversible obstructive airway disease.
Usually Formoterol is used every 12 hours 2 times a day. In order to get the most positive effect of the drug, you must apply it consistently. You are not allowed to take this medication if you are allergic to Formoterol or the drug components. It is used to prevent a bronchospasm within adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but it is not used to treat the already begun bronchospasm attack, in this case you need to take fast-acting drugs. In case you have missed the time of taking the medicine, then take it when you remember about it, but if it's time for the next drug intake, skip the missed dose and take the medication as it was planned.
