Is it okay that ventolin be used in a nebuliser to help during an asthma attack?

Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Yes: Ventolin can be delivered by inhaler or as albuterol using a home nebulizer. Either method will provide effective delivery. Good inhaler technique is important for maximum medication delivery to the lungs. Using a nebulizer is easier, but it takes longer and is typically not as portable.
