Ventolin (Albuterol): I assume you are taking it for asthma. Albuterol provides immediate relief of symptoms in asthma. You should discuss with your doctor regarding frequency and severity of your symptoms. He or she may consider starting an inhaler with steroid which helps with inflammation in asthma. Their regular use should improve symptom control and decrease the need for frequent use of Ventolin.

Ventolin: Hi, what is your diagnosis? Asthma? if you do have Asthma and you need to use ur Albuterol inhaler every night then you need to be started on Steroid inhaler to decrease the need for rescue inhaler. See your doctor for further assessment, also if you have untreated allergy or Acid reflux you need treatment for those, too.
