Ventolin Prescription Online

Ventolin - Overview

Ventolin is a medication available in inhaler form used to treat and prevent bronchospasm in some people with asthma. People who need a Ventolin inhaler prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Ventolin medication, including a Ventolin HFA inhaler, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Ventolin Used For?

Ventolin HFA is a brand name for an albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler manufactured by GSK. Like ProAir HFA and Proventil HFA, Ventolin HFA contains albuterol sulfate as its active ingredient and is a rescue bronchodilator used for asthma, COPD, and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. The three branded inhalers are considered clinically interchangeable - pharmacies typically dispense a generic albuterol HFA inhaler when any albuterol brand is prescribed. A generic albuterol sulfate HFA inhaler is thought to be identical in active ingredient, dose, and clinical effect to Ventolin HFA. Ventolin inhalers are sometimes used alongside ipratropium (Atrovent). Ventolin differs from Xopenex which contains levalbuterol. For complete clinical information - including conditions treated, COPD use, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, dosing, and FAQ - see the albuterol page.

Ventolin - Dosage and Cost

Ventolin typically delivers 90 mcg albuterol base per actuation and canisters usually contain 60 or 200 actuations. Ventolin is typically prescribed as 2 inhalations every 4 to 6 hours as needed for symptom relief. For exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, 2 inhalations approximately 15-30 minutes before exercise is considered a preventive dose. Overuse of a Ventolin inhaler (e.g. > 2 days per week) might suggest the need for better controller therapy.

Generic albuterol HFA inhalers - which are sometimes dispensed in place of branded Ventolin at many pharmacies - typically cost $25 to $60 per inhaler. Prescription savings cards can help reduce costs further for patients paying out of pocket. Ventolin HFA priming typically requires shaking and releasing 4 test sprays before first use or if it has not been used for more than 14 days. Ventolin savings cards may also help when buying Ventolin medication at the pharmacy.

Can I Buy Ventolin Online?

The Ventolin HFA inhaler is a prescription medication which makes buying Ventolin online more difficult in the United States. And, because Ventolin requires a prescription from a medical provider, Ventolin OTC (over the counter) is not available for purchase at pharmacies. People who need a Ventolin inhaler prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Ventolin medication, including a generic Ventolin HFA inhaler, when appropriate to do so.

Ventolin - Side Effects

The Ventolin HFA prescription inhaler can cause side effects in some people. Side effects that can result from Ventolin medication use include nausea, palpitations, tremor, anxiety, cough, sweating and pain. People should be monitored when using Ventolin medication as it can cause paradoxical bronchospasm. Ventolin inhalers and alcohol should not be used together. People who have a known hypersensitivity to Ventolin inhalers should not use the medication. Prior to using Ventolin prescription medication, it is necessary to discuss side effects and other concerns with one's medical provider and pharmacist.
