I suffer with sinus problems most of the year.  I get a stuffy nose at the beginning of an invasion until I take prescription medicine.  I discovered the Vick's inhaler some years ago.  I can take a few sniffs of the medicine within the inhaler in each nostril and within a few minutes, I can breathe.Vick's has been on the market for years.  Vick's has always been...

This product is great to use with any of the electric vaporizers made for use with an inhalant. It provide “soothing menthol vapors” that help to comfort coughs and cold symptoms. It is designed for use with any electric vaporizer. We got ours at Walmart. I believe we paid around $3.00 for a 4floz bottle. THE INGREDIENTS Eucalyptus Oil, Menthol, Camphor, Methyl Salicylate, an...

Primatene Mist is an over the counter inhaler. I recently had a very bad chest cold and usually would have gone to the doctors for it but was away from home and unable to get to my physicians office. So I did my best treating the symptoms with over the counter products. I consulted the pharmacist and was surprised to find that there is actually an over the counter inhaler available for purchase...

It seems that the older I get, the more I suffer from year round allergies. I am very wary about overmedicating, and cautious about the drugs that I take, as I take many prescription drugs, and don't want to keep adding to the mix. Other than saline solutions, I am extremely concerned about nose drops, due to their rebound effect. But one non-prescription medication that always brings relie...

My husband recently went through a bad case of bronchitis. About the time he was getting over this his seasonal allergies started to bother him and he was having some trouble breathing. His doctor prescribed the ProAir Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler.He has been using this inhaler for about a week and it has made his breathing a lot more comfortable. It has also decreased his coughing a night which m...

I've had asthma for over 20 years now and I've always had to use an inhaler on a regular basis. I've always used Albuterol, but recent complications with money and medical have forced me to try Primatene Mist, a popular over-the-counter asthma inhaler.While I don't think it's as effective as my prescription Albuterol, it's close enough to get the job done. If I'm hav...

I have asthma. I have been lucky enough to only have  to be on the lowest dose of inhalers.  I was using the blue one with the steroids. However they have come out with a non steroid brand. I like the new one because for some reason I only need it two times a day. Whereas the one with the steroids I was using way to much almost 6 times a day. You would think that t...

When I was having troubles breathing because my vasculitis disease was getting worse, my doctors gave me an inhalator. Although it helped a little, it wasn't until my doctors changed it to a Flovent inhalator that I started to breathe much better. It hurts quite a lot when your lungs kind of seize up and you start gasping. The Flovent helped instantly. Now prior to my disease...

ProAir HFA is the commercial name for albuterol sulfate. If you have ever had trouble with asthma, then you know what albuterol is and does. I’m not sure exactly what it does physiologically, but I just know that it helps me to breathe better when I’m having constricted airways. I have only suffered from asthma a few times. It tends to happen to me after I’ve had a bad cold...

After I was prescribe the Albuterol inhaler, I experience difficulty with using it properly.  I wasted more dosages than I can count.  I went through about 2 canasters in record time.  Not from over-dosing, but from spraying the aerosol into the air and not were it was meant to be.  I also, had trouble holding the inhaler upright while trying to place the mouthpiece fully in...

The product is pretty effective to clear the clogged nose and does give a comfortable sleep.However CAUTION should be taken just in case you plan to inhale the vapour with  the product in boiling water.make sure the container is made of glass or metal just to be on the safe side. I tried to use a Thermal foam cup with hot water for my inhaling convenience and found that the contents o...

My husband suffers from Asthma and has to use an inhaler. He used to use the generic Albuteral until they took it off of the market about 20 months ago. In my opinion, the Albuteral help his attacks better than any brand he had ever tried before. With some of the others he would get the shakes and because he is also diabetic it seemed to make his sugar levels high too. Weird....Last year, his d...

My twins were extremely premature (born at 26 weeks gestation). As a result, they had some lung and breathing problems for the first fe years of their life. They've been intubated, on CPAP low-flow, on ventilators at home and finally given aerosol inhalers when they were about 2 years old. Try getting a 2 year old to breathe in while you squeeze down the puffer - impossible! Here's wher...
