What is Proventil HFA?

Proventil is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs. Proventil HFA is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease. It is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm. Proventil is for use in adults and children who are at least 4 years old.

How should my child use Proventil HFA?

Your doctor should show you how your child should use PROVENTIL HFA. PROVENTIL HFA is for oral inhalation use only. Take PROVENTIL HFA exactly as your doctor tells you to. PROVENTIL® HFA Inhalation Aerosol comes as a canister with a dose indicator. The dose indicator is located on the top of the canister that fits into an actuator (See Figure A).

How long does Proventil last?
