How do you get rid of wheezing without your proventil (albuterol) inhaler?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Steroid inhaler.: If talking about asthma, steroids used once or twice daily are better for prevention of wheezing. Beta-agonists (proventil) open up airways acutely, and we call them rxcue inhalers. They should not be the only means used. If you have copd, the situation is more serious, and combinations of inhaled steroids with anti-cholinergic medication may be indicated.

Possibilities...: If you are wheezing and you have asthma, you will need a beta-agonist inhaler, like proventil (albuterol) and a steroid inhaler. There are also other beta-agonist inhalers if you don't like proventil (albuterol) so see your doctor.
