Proair Side Effects
3 Topics FoundWhat is ProAir HFA (albuterol sulfate) used for? ## Albuterol inhalers are used to respiratory problems, such as asthma, and COPD. It helps widen the airways to make breathing easier. Its typical side effects may include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, elevated heart rate, and elevated blood pressure. ## Has anyone noticed a difference between ProAir name brand & Albuterol generic both made by Teva? The generic doesn't seem to work as well for me.

Facial/head and body itch, swelling in my calves and ankles...The symptoms have been persistent, and I haven't used the medication in a couple days. The symptoms are still present. I was using the medication as needed...(maybe up to 3 times a day or more). Would like to know at what stage does the symptoms dissipate. ## How long were you taking it and how long have been off of it, now? Has there been any change? It has been known to cause such symptoms as side effects in some people that take it, according to FDA reports. However, it is always best to have such symptoms checked out, to be safe. Are you on any other medications?

I am male 55 years and consuming two tablets of Tedral SA since last 30 years. During this period, I never faced any inconvenience and attack of asthma in any type of weather or circumstances. Now this tablet is not available in market. I need good substitution to this tablet with the same ingredients. ## From what I understand, there is NO substitute for the old Tedral formulation. Tedral contained some phenobarb, which helped, but didn't really work, to neutralize the stimulant side effects of theophylline and ephedrine. Ephedrine isn't available anymore and the combo of those two drugs caused "speedy" feelings. It's more typical that you'd be prescribed a rescue inhaler for acute asthma attacks (ProAir = albuterol is common) than any oral med. Works faster wit...
