I've never tried ventolin yet for my asthma. Is it a dry inhaler?

I use ventolin with no major side effects other than a bit shaky but that clears up quickly.

Really? Is it a preventive inhaler or a rescue Inhaler?

It is normally a reliever to take in the case of an attack but in extreme cases can be used through a nebuliser on a regular basis
