Table of contents:

ProAir RespiClick is a drug used to treat or prevent bronchospasms in people with reversible obstructive airway disease, including asthma. It is a multi-dose breath-activated rescue inhaler that delivers a powder form of albuterol sulfate, a bronchodilator that acts rapidly to relax the muscles in the airways and improve breathing.

ProAir RespiClick is indicated for patients 4 years of age and older. It should be used only as directed by a healthcare provider and does not replace the need for continuing treatment with an appropriate long-term controller medication for asthma.

Uses and Dosage

The ProAir RespiClick inhaler is a powder inhaler that is taken orally. For treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm or prevention of symptoms associated with bronchospasm, the recommended dosage for adults and children 4 years of age or older is 2 inhalations repeated every 4 to 6 hours. More frequent administration or a larger number of inhalations is not recommended.

To use the ProAir RespiClick powder inhaler, follow these steps:

  1. Hold the inhaler upright with the red cap facing downwards.
  2. Pull the red cap back all the way until it clicks.
  3. Breathe out completely, away from the inhaler.
  4. Put the mouthpiece between your lips and close your lips tightly around it.
  5. Breathe in quickly and deeply through your mouth.
  6. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for up to ten seconds or as long as you comfortably can.
  7. Breathe out slowly.
  8. If you need to take a second dose, wait at least one minute before repeating the above steps.

Remember to read the instructions that come with your ProAir RespiClick inhaler and consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Use the inhaler correctly to get the full benefit of the medication.
