If attacked for the first time,FDA Approves New Inhaler HFA Formulation for Asthma Articles asthma is such a frightening experience to some.  Inability or difficulty in breathing gives a thought that you are being deprived of air – one of the essential factors to survive (aside from food, water, shelter and medicine).  Asthma in some cases if not immediately and properly treated could lead to death. 

As such, with various asthma treatments being identified as harmful to life in general Canada Drugs Online gives way to a new inhaler hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) formulation for asthma as approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  Canada Drugs Online supports safe and effective medications and treatments (not just to humans but to all life forms).  With this, Canada Drugs Online provides the facts about the latest asthma inhaler, ProAir HFA (albuterol sulfate).

ProAir HFA provides you a fast relief when experiencing asthma, exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).  It contains albuterol and is prescribed to patients not younger than 4 years of age.  ProAir HFA is handy – hassle-free to carry and store.  Also, it is covered by more than 90% of health plans.  ProAir HFA is unique because it dispenses the medicine in a warmer, lower impact and longer-duration plume.  Its main objective is to keep you going and active.

However, there are certain things to consider prior using ProAir HFA. 

1.     If you are allergic to albuterol, then using ProAir HFA is a no-no.

2.     If you are suffering from one or more of below health conditions, inform your physician about it for necessary dose adjustments or if special laboratory tests are required to check your compatibility with the medicine.

·         heart disease, high blood pressure, or congestive heart failure

·         a heart rhythm disorder

·         a seizure disorder such as epilepsy

·         diabetes

·         overactive thyroid.

3.     If you are breastfeeding a baby, undergoing pregnancy or planning to be pregnant, make sure to tell your doctor because albuterol treatment may cause negative effects unto your unborn or newborn baby.  Precaution should always be noted to avoid harming others’ lives especially if it is your own child.

4.     If you are taking some of below medicines (and other prescriptions that you are maintaining), tell your doctor for their interaction may not be advantageous to your health but rather causing more risks.

·         adiuretic

·         digoxin

·         beta-blocker

·         antidepressant

·         MAO inhibitor

·         other bronchodilators
