Hi i was on ventolin before my consultant put me on easy breathe inhaler that is mixed with salbutamol and ventolin it is a good inhaler the only reason there changed mine is because i struggle with taking in deep breaths and holding it i didn't have any side affects...

I use a ventalin through a nebulizer 6 times a day .I get a very dry throat and it causes me to cough a lot but if it's helping me that is a munor problem

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.

Is ventolin a dry inhaler?

Its not dry powder but comes out in a blast when you press down on the cannister

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

It's a rescue inhaler but can be got in nebules for a nebuliser

So it's not like the Qvar where I take that 2x a day with 2 puffs?
