How should I use albuterol inhalation?
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
Do not allow a young child to use albuterol inhalation without help from an adult.
To prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm, use this medicine 15 to 30 minutes before you exercise. The effects of albuterol inhalation should last about 4 to 6 hours.
Seek medical attention if your breathing problems get worse quickly, or if you think your asthma medications are not working as well.
Read and carefully follow any Instructions for Use provided with your medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand these instructions.
ProAir HFA, Proventil HFA, or Ventolin HFA must be shaken before each use. You do not need to shake ProAir RespiClick before using.

Always use the new inhaler device provided with your refill. Do not float a medicine canister in water to see if it is empty.
Your dose needs may change due to surgery, illness, stress, or a recent asthma attack. Do not change your dose or dosing schedule without your doctor's advice.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, or cold temperatures.
Keep the cover on your ProAir RespiClick inhaler when not in use. Store Proventil or Ventolin with the mouthpiece down.
