Both Proventil and Ventolin inhalers contain albuterol as their active ingredient. This medication is a short-acting beta-2 agonist, meaning it quickly relaxes the muscles in your airways, providing relief from breathing difficulties.
However, the strength of albuterol can vary. You’ll find different concentrations available by prescription. Always check your prescription label for the precise strength prescribed for you. Don’t assume two inhalers with the same brand name have the same concentration.
| Proventil | Albuterol | 90, 100 |
| Ventolin | Albuterol | 90, 100 |
Note that the available strengths can differ based on the formulation (HFA vs. CFC) and the country of distribution. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding the appropriate strength for your individual needs. Never alter your dosage without medical advice. Incorrect dosage can impact treatment effectiveness.
