A member asked:
Can you tell me is there a difference between the ventolin medicine inhaler and ventolin salbutamol syrup ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are similar.: Albuterol the medication in ventolin comes in several forms, a syrup, pills, a puffer inhaler and a liquid that goes in a nebulizer for breathing treatments. Salbutamol is a long acting type of bronchodilator similar to albuterol, but instead of lasting 3-4 hrs, it lasts 12 hours. Both medications are used to treat asthma.
