No: If you don't have asthma, why are you using an asthma inhaler? This can be dangerous. If you do have asthma, get tested and prescribed a treatment that is tailored just for you. Don't wait- get tested now good luck.

You decide: I recall the report of a runway model who died with such a plan.She used one to dull her appetite, self medicated & died from a heart rhythm abnormality caused by the drug.These meds are by prescription because misuse can hurt you.
