I have suffered for 2 weeks with a sudden onset of asthma due to environmental changes. Since I've never had asthma, I was not sure what was happening. My doctor today told me what it was and gave me a RespiClick inhaler with a script for steroids. I didn't notice anything on the first use of the inhaler (2 pouches) right away; however, about 2 hours post, my coughing had been greatly reduced. ...

The ProAir respiclick is a different kind of rescue inhaler here's what I found out works for me I normally hit it on my end table on the top of it upside down a couple times and then right side up a couple times open it straight up and inhale deeply and fast and it works it took me a few tries to figure out how this works but I have found relief with it I don't feel the same satisfaction as I do with my standard rescue inhaler Ventolin but the ProAir is something my insurance will replace every 60 days versus every 90 days with the Ventolin and I have more asthma attacks than normal sometimes to a day I have a nebulizer I take Advair I've always had problems around the 40° mark so the fall in the spring are the worst and this El Nino winter has been terrible on my lungs but the pro air rasty click does work I give it a 4 out of 5 because it does get me through my asthma attack really fast I suggest you try doing what I do before I inhale it that seems to be the trick for me shaking up the powder inside so it flows easier I do like my mentoring better but I am happy that I can get the ProAir every 60 days and then it does do the job even if I have to take two Puffs sometimes sometimes I've had to take three puffs with my ventolin so it's okay I'm sure after I get really used to using it it will flow like butter with a hot knifeRead More Read Less

I have been using this inhaler for approximately a year. The effectiveness was very poor throughout its use. On two occasions with two separate inhalers, this brand of inhaler failed completely after having used them less than on 25 occasions. One resulted in an emergency four day hospital stay due to respiratory distress after the inhalers failure. I only have asthma issues and have had asthma for well over 25 years. I am also a retired nurse. This has been the least effective and responsive inhaler I have ever been prescribed. This inhalers failure could easily cause respiratory failure leading to death if medical attention is not available after the inhalers failure.Read More Read Less

I had an asthma attack, activated the inhaler, it failed to dispense any medication although the container depicted 116 more doses available. This was the second time this brand of inhaler has failed. The first time I was hospitalized for respiratory failure after the inhaler did not dispense medication upon having an asthma attack.

This is a useless albuterol inhaler. The powder seems to end up in my mouth, teeth, throat and not much in the lungs. Average onset is almost 6 minutes, by their information yet this provides me no relief what so ever.

Worst inhaler I've ever been prescribed. Forces you to attempt to strongly inhale while already not being able to breathe in the first place. Whatever genius thought of this poor design is clearly a moron who's never experienced the ability to NOT BREATHE

I don’t write reviews but this is not only the worst inhaler I’ve ever used but frankly it’s dangerous how awful it is. I ran to get a refill of my NORMAL pro-air inhaler (which has worked great I’ve been prescribed for 6+ years) and got this. The design makes no logical sense, leaving you in the midst of an asthma attack googling how to use this inhaler. Even when you follow instructions there is no medicine delivered and I still can’t breathe fully. Complete waste and unethical to be given as a rescue inhaler that doesn’t workRead More Read Less

This is just awful. Barley comes out. I must ask why anyone thought this powder was a good idea. If I'm taking it because I can't breathe then how am I supposed to pull on it hard enough to make it work. I ask the pham and they said companies are doing this because of the ozone layer. How stupid. It doesn't come out and it doesn't work. Yes I read the stupid instructions.

Inhaler is a piece of crap, anyone having a need for an emergency inhaler most likely could not breathe in hard enough to get the medicine out of the inhaler... and the FDA approved this this is putting people in danger.

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.

Terrible! Not sure how this type of inhaler is allowed. I care for my elderly mother with dementia. There was no way to know that she was breathing in the medicine. Trying to prevent bronchitis from turning into pneumonia. Dangerous implications if this product not used as directed.

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.... Read More Read Less

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.

A manual inhaler makes zero sense when you have a breathing problem....

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.

I actually watched a video on its usage on Youtube, thinking I must be doing something wrong. As far/ as I could determine, nothing happened; it was completely ineffective in addressing my asthma.

This is literally the dumbest idea! You have to be able to inhale hard enough to activate it. When having an asthma attack and in need of a "rescue" inhaler," one does not have the strength in their lungs to activate anything. I am so irritated by this product. The pharmacies are being advised to push it but clearly, it has horrible reviews from the people expected to use it.
