A member asked:
I was wondering is albuterol/ventolin a rescue inhaler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ventolin, proventil, and proair are all brand name rescue inhalers that contain albuterol. They are generally used every 4 hours for wheezing or shortness of breath from asthma and copd, or 15-30 minutes prior to exercise for patients with exercise-induced asthma.
