If indicated, yes: An inhaler such as albuterol is likely being prescribed for someone at age 64 either due to COPD (lung disease from either smoking or heavy exposure to respiratory contaminants) or bad allergies with respiratory distress. You should check either with your doctor or pharmacist if combination of these drugs is of concern to you. However, it is not uncommon to see this type of prescription.
