| 1 | Asthma | MaxAir (PIRBUTEROL ACETATE) actually made my acute asthma attacks worse. My doctor had to switch me back to ProAir (Albuterol Sulfate). | Made my breathing worse (see Side Effects section). ProAir (Albuterol Sulfate) worked for me with no side effects. | M | 49 | 4 months 2 puffs 2X day | 10/25/2011 | 5 | Asthma | None | Wonder drug. Best rescue inhaler ever! I use it before exercise or up to 6 times a day during asthma flares. No palpitations! No heart racing! Easier to use than an MDI. I really like the autohaler. | M | 53 | 5 months 1-2 puffs 6X AN | 12/7/2010 | 5 | Asthma | none | same as another comment, all other inhalers made my heart race, this one doesn't- it's great | F | 37 | 2 months | 1/11/2008 | 5 | athsma | none! | I really liked the old maxair and it is a shame it was discontinued. kind of expensive but was worth every penny. | M | 20 | 4 years | 8/21/2006 | 2 | Rescue inhaler | None. | If I had the strength needed to get the medication out of the Autohaler, I wouldn't need it. | F | 66 | 1 days | 10/30/2005 | 5 | Asthma | none | A good (light) medication. highly effective. With other inhalers I had to deal with | M | 39 | 7 years | 6/12/2005 | 5 | Asthma | None | Maxair is the best inhaler I've ever used! Other inhalers made my heart race; Maxair is the only one that doesn't. I especially like the Autohaler since it releases the drug as you inhale. No need for coordination :-) | M | 52 | 5 years | 4/28/2005 | 4 | Mild asthma problems | I really like maxair because most of the dose is not wasted in my mouth. it all goes to my lungs | M | 12 | 2 months | 10/13/2004 | 5 | asthma from exertion in cold/alergy | way back when I first started taking it, I would get light headed, but that went away after a little over a year. | Maxair realy helped me through my last few years in the Marine Corps, and is a great help to me now as a Sheriff Dept Rescue Diver before I go in the water. I have been using Cingulair, & Advair for 9 months now, but I'm glad I still have a couple of Maxairs for scuba diving. | M | 42 | 10 years | 2/8/2004 | 3 | exercise-induced asthma | I have mixed feelings about Maxair. As a medication, it is absolutely the best asthma medication I've ever used. However, in mid-2002 the manufacturer discontinued the trusty old metered dose inhaler with a new thing called an Autohaler. I absolutely hate the autohaler, and I think 3M really screwed up by discontinuing the metered dose inhaler. I spoke to one of the product development people at 3M and they insisted that they have no plans to bring the metered dose inhaler back. So I'm looking for a replacement for Maxair. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Currently I am trying Serevent. I'll let you know what I think. | M | 40 | 4 years | 11/8/2002 |
