ProAir® HFA Important Safety Information
ProAir® HFA is indicated in patients 4 years of age and older for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm with reversible obstructive airway disease and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Important Safety Information
If your symptoms become significantly worse when you use ProAir® HFA, contact your
doctor immediately. This may indicate either a worsening of your asthma or a reaction
to the medication, which may rarely occur with the first use of a new canister of
ProAir® HFA. Either of these could be life-threatening.
What to tell your doctor before using ProAir® HFA: If you have a heart, blood, or
seizure disorder, high blood pressure, diabetes, or an overactive thyroid, be sure
to tell your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows all medications you are taking
– especially heart medications and drugs that treat depression – because some medications
may interfere with how well your asthma medications work. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Side effects associated with ProAir® HFA include headache, rapid heart beat, pain, dizziness, and irritation of the throat and nose.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
