Considering both Ventolin and Proventil are both albuterol - any difference
between the two? How about the generics?

Some people say that they feel a difference but I cannot detect any.

"It's not American foreign policy, or the plight of the
Palestinians, or America's longstanding support for Israel.
A group of people with money and weaponry have simply
decided that we, as a civilization, are unfit to live, and
want, eventally, to exterminate us."

At least one of the generics (Warrick brand) is exactly the same as
Proventil. They are made in the same factory and the label and color of the
plastic are the only differences.

My generic HFA Ventolin's cheaper than dirt and works well, and has less of
a tendancy to nail you in the back of the throat or tongue than CFC ones and
brand name Ventolin/Flovent/Serevent HFA.
