Albuterol inhalers used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). Because of the Montreal Protocol to phase out the use and production of CFCs, since 2008 all Albuterol inhalers are powered by hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs).
Albuterol inhalers with HFC propellant are no longer on the market. They are only available now with HFA.
Albuterol is known as salbutamol in Australia, the common brand names are Ventolin and Respolin. You can buy salbutamol inhalers from any pharmacy without a prescription.
No, Proventil (albuterol) inhalers do not have steroids. It is considered a "fast acting" or "rescue" inhaler. Albuterol is a bronchodilator, it helps open up the air passages, making it easier to breathe.
I have the same thing and my docter told me that they were two different inhalers and can be used together.

The propellant for inhalers is changing and the old CFC propellant ones cannot be sold after December 31, 2008. Probably you will still be taking the same drug, just the delivery system will change. The jury is still out on pros and cons of albuterol during pregnancy.
If you are allergic to sulfa in some antibiotics, it's also important to know whether your asthma inhaler contains sulfa. Sulfa is NOT in all asthma inhalers. You can identify which inhalers have sulfa by looking at the ingredient leaflet for sulfate or any phrase using that word. Albuterol is one inhaler that contains sulfate. Make sure your physicians and pharmacist know you are allergic to drugs containing sulfa or sulfates.
Inhalers is the correct spelling.
Perhaps, if they are steroid inhalers.
