I take six nebules of ventalin and four others ,whose name I can't remember every day . I wish I could do with out but at least I have a good life which without them I wouldn't have.

As long as it works for you that's the main thing. Do you take 6 in a day or six per session.

6 in a day of ventalin , what I usually do is take 1 with my other nebules 4 times a day and fit the other 2 in during the day .It can be a bit of a bind but most people are really good when I explain and let me use it somewhere quiet

Thank you for sending me the pic. It looks like the albuterol nebules that I take with my nebulizer.

Evidence is beginning to show that the gas used to propel the actual medicine into you is itself contributing to the very air pollution that in many people is a trigger for asthma.
All the ventalin does is open the airways to make it easier to get air into your lungs. It does not treat or prevent asthma. Some medics are moving towards the idea of a combined preventer and reliever such as the dry powder Symbicort inhaler would be better than patients reliance on ventalin.
