Any difference between proair & ventolin inhalers? which one is prescribed more and more asthma effective . any cons or pros. appreciate your help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are the: same medication,albuterol,made by different companies. Proair is probably prescribed more now because it is cheaper to buy than ventolin. They are both as effective for asthma.
