What Is an Albuterol Inhaler?
Different Albuterol Inhalers
There are many different albuterol inhalers. Some are equivalent to each other, while others are not. Older inhalers are made using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the propellants, while newer inhalers use hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), an environmentally friendly propellant. The older inhalers include:
- Proventil®
- Ventolin® (no longer made)
- Generic albuterol inhalers (equivalent to Ventolin).
