Safely Buy Pro Air HFA Inhaler ( Albuterol Sulfate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

ProAir HFA is an inhaler that contains the active ingredient albuterol sulphate.

ProAir HFA is used to treat and prevent bronchospasm, characterized by wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

ProAir HFA is a short-acting beta-agonist, which means it works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and opening up the air passages to improve breathing.

ProAir HFA is commonly used as a quick-relief or rescue inhaler to provide immediate relief during asthma attacks or episodes of bronchospasm.
