For Asthma, acute "Like the others say, the ProAir RespiClick is not effective. Sucking as hard as you can to get medicine to your lungs did not help during an asthma attack. The old method inhalers are far superior. I wheeze terribly still after using. Do not recommend."

For Asthma, acute "I had asthma as a kid. I recently got bronchitis, and my asthma returned. This inhaler should be recalled. It does not work. It is dangerous. I just found my girlfriend's ProAir HFA inhaler, and it worked perfectly. I have been suffocating for 3 days on this horrible, dangerous, poorly designed product."

For Asthma, acute "I previously used the old ProAir, the traditional design, and it worked great. Could jog twice as far without getting short of breath, mow grass, etc. I was at the doctor and asked about a refill, and she told me about this amazing new design that you don't have to squeeze. The idea sounded great, but in reality, it doesn't work. After I use it, shortness of breath is slightly decreased, but the chest tightness/pain remains and starts to take on a different character, and it also makes me extremely nauseous. Yes, it is convenient, but people who need a rescue inhaler would rather it work and provide relief than to have one less button to press."

For Asthma, acute "I find that it doesn't work either; I was having bronchospasms a few times this season, and the ProAir RespiClick does nothing. First, I thought that it was because I had shortness of breath, but with the HFA inhaler, I was still able to get a fairly decent dose, even in the middle of an attack. Trying to see if I can switch back to the old-school inhaler."
