ProAir RespiClick Dosage Information
The recommended dose of ProAir RespiClick (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder for patients 12 years of age and older is two inhalations by mouth as needed for bronchospasm [1]. This is also the recommended dose for patients 4 years of age and older for prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm [1].
How to Use ProAir RespiClick
ProAir RespiClick is a breath-actuated inhaler, meaning it is activated by your breath [1]. To use it, you should remove the cap, shake the inhaler well, and then place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Close your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. Breathe in deeply and steadily through your mouth until your lungs are full. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for as long as you can, up to 10 seconds, before breathing out [1].
What if I Miss a Dose?
If you miss a dose of ProAir RespiClick, take it as soon as you remember [1]. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time [1].
When Does ProAir RespiClick Patent Protection End?
Patent information for specific drug formulations can be complex and is subject to change. For detailed and up-to-date information on patent expiry for ProAir RespiClick and its active ingredient, albuterol sulfate, consult resources like DrugPatentWatch.com [2].
What are the Alternatives to ProAir RespiClick?
Other inhaled bronchodilators are available for treating bronchospasm and preventing exercise-induced bronchospasm. These include other short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) such as albuterol sulfate delivered via different inhaler devices, and ipratropium bromide [3]. Long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids are also used for long-term management of asthma and COPD [3]. The choice of medication depends on the specific condition being treated, the patient's age, and other individual factors [3].
