Every dose
counted
The ProAir° HFA (albuterol sulfate) dose counter lets you know when you need to refill your inhaler dose

Make every dose count with the new ProAir® HFA (albuterol sulfate) dose counter.

The new ProAir® HFA dose counter will tell you:

  • Exactly how many doses you have left
  • When it’s time to replace your inhaler. The counter numbers turn red letting you know it’s time to refill your prescription

Add this to a long list of reliable ProAir® HFA features designed with your convenience in mind. Features like:

  • A warmer, less forceful, longer duration spray to give you more time to inhale it1
  • The widest prescription drug insurance coverage available2
  • Up to 24-month expiration*
  • Consistent dosing, no matter what position it’s stored in
  • No repriming needed if dropped**

With ProAir® HFA, you get all of this, plus it keeps track of your remaining doses.3 No wonder it’s the #1 dispensed quick-relief inhaler.4

*The expiration date of your inhaler is important. You should check your expiration date and replace your inhaler prior to the date shown on your inhaler canister.

**ProAir® HFA must be primed if you have not used it for more than 14 days, and dosed with the mouthpiece down. It should be stored between 59ºF and 77ºF.

Approved Uses

Important Safety Information

If your symptoms become significantly worse when you use ProAir® HFA, contact your doctor immediately. This may indicate either a worsening of your asthma or a reaction to the medication, which may rarely occur with the first use of a new canister of ProAir® HFA. Either of these could be life-threatening.

What to tell your doctor before using ProAir® HFA: If you have a heart, blood, or seizure disorder, high blood pressure, diabetes, or an overactive thyroid, be sure to tell your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows all the medications you are taking – especially heart medications and drugs that treat depression – because some medications may interfere with how well your asthma medications work. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Side effects associated with ProAir® HFA included headache, rapid heart beat, pain, dizziness, and irritation of the throat and nose.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
