| 5 | Wheezing & Chronic cough | Works well for my son. Has helped control his chronic cough & wheezing. He does have flare ups during allergy season (spring & fall). | M | 6 | 2 years | 1/7/2007 | 5 | wheezing cough | Works great for my son. He has reactive airway disease and this clears up his wheezing whenever it is needed. | M | 4 | 1 years | 9/30/2007 | 1 | pulmonary function exam | immediate chest pain, bright red rash all over face, raised my pulse rate by 10, raised my BP from 115/60 to 150/65 | looks like mine was an allergic reaction to this drug | M | 61 | 1 days 3mg 1X day | 1/27/2012 | 5 | Asthma | Extreme jittery-ness, shaking, irritability | Despite the side effects, I am pro-albuterol. It has saved my life on numerous occasions. I take both the inhaler and the nebulizer solution. | F | 48 | 10 years 2.5 mg 4X day | 10/25/2011 | 4 | Difficulty breathing due to asthma | I experienced unrelieved throat-clearing (just kept having to clear my throat), but this could also have been a side-effect of my daily inhaler, Flovent HFA. | For two years, one puff of Albuterol Sulfate (TEVA brand) worked well for me as a rescue inhaler when I had occasional bronchial tightening or shortness of breath while I was also taking Flovent HFA as a daily inhaler. Recently, I have had more severe and prolonged asthma symptoms, so I started needing 1-2 puffs of Albuterol every 4-6 hours. The symptoms no longer seemed to go away completely with Albuterol + daily Flovent, so I have switched to a daily corticosteroid with a long-acting beta-agonist. | F | 41 | 2 years 90 mcg 4X day | 2/22/2022 | 3 | ASTHMA | WORKS BETTER THAN PULMICORT, BUT IT MAKES MY THROATH WEIRD, I HAVE TO KEEP CLEARING IT , VERY EMBARASSING | BUT I CAN BREATHE BETTER | F | 26 | 2 days | 5/25/2005 | 3 | Asthma | Nervousness, shortness of breath (ironically) and vaginal irritation. | Just wanted to let the ladies know that using this medication regularly may cause vaginal irritation and even yeast infections. | F | 35 | 12 months | 8/4/2007 | 2 | beginnings of asthma | My 2 year old started with a bad cough and shortness of breath. Her pediatricial prescribed ProAir HFA. Instead of getting better. She got worse. I discontinued the Albuterol Sulfate. She started to get better. Two days later I took her to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor insisted with the prescription. She is having a bad cough again. It is non-stop! | F | 2 | 4 days | 12/13/2008 | 2 | Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler - TEVA | RED REPLACEMENT MINI LOOKING inhaler. Replacing the old ones. did not stop asthma attack in progress. Wasteful priming of the inhaler before use, after taste. | Red inhaler made by Teva. Did not seem to stop the attack without excess use. It tells you to prime the inhaler before use which wastes doses. Left a gross after taste. Half the size of the other inhalers with a double the price tag on it. Not impressed. Helps some. | F | 35 | 2 years | 4/17/2009 | 1 | Seasonal Asthma | Been on Proair for years worked perfectly. Pharm changed to albuterol sulphate without asking tho standing order no substitute because of years past experience. It immediately makes my lungs itch so bad it causes severe coughing & throat left hoarse & bruised feeling. | Should be off market...my son had same bad reactions. | F | 52 | 20 days 2 puffs 4 4X day | 2/17/2021 | 1 | copd | "TEVA" brand DOES NOT WORK. | Company is distributing a small canister that only works a couple of times then nothing comes out when you press it. It is supposed to release 200 times. Don't bother buying this. | F | 62 | 90 days 90 mcg 4X day | 11/12/2021 | 1 | COPD | I am leaving this review for my mom who has COPD and her previous doctor prescribed the Albuterol Sulfate. He told her she could use as often as she wanted to! This drug is dangerous! It creates MAJOR mood swings as well! Her current doctor took her off of the Albuterol and has her doing a different brand for her breathing treatments and she was doing wonderful with her mood, her sleep and everything. The nursing home she is at just called and said they had ran out of her current brand so they had to go back to the Albuterol. This stuff is bad news!! She has gone into anxiety attacks today just like she was when she was previously prescribed the Albuterol! If you have a loved on using this brand, get them off of it!! | F | 73 | 2 years 10X day | 8/7/2023 | 1 | Asthma | I now take ProAir HFA, since the old generic albuterol is no longer available. No side effects, but I fear death because the ProAir HFA just DOES NOT WORK to stop an asthma attack. | I used generic albuterol for over 10 years as needed for asthma attacks. The old albuterol WORKED great, but the FDA & EPA had a problem with the propellant in it, so now we have ProAir, which costs more, but does not work. Instead of 2-4 puffs during an attack, I have to take 8-10 puffs of ProAir. I don't know if they have changed the drug or just the propellant, but as it is today, the ProAir is a waste of money. | F | 46 | 3 months | 4/11/2009 |
ALBUTEROL SULFATE (ALBUTEROL SULFATE): 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. It is a quick-relief drug. Albuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. It works in the airways by opening breathing passages and relaxing muscles. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school. FDA Approval Date: 1989-12-05 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
