Controller med: Ventolin is albuterol, which is intended to quickly relieve asthma symptoms. If one is having symptoms twice per week or more or waking up at night with asthma symptoms twice per month or more, they mmay need to be on a controller medication that is used every day to keep their asthma under control. Advair is one type of controller medicine.
