See below: If you are using your alb mdi several times a day, your asthma not even close to being under control. Albuterol is a rescue medicine only and temporarily opens up the airways. Your repeated use suggests that you need a inhaled steroid to reduce the inflammation that is going on in your lungs that albuterol does not help. See you doctor for this asap.

Develop a plan: Successful asthma control can be achieved when you find a doc you can work with, learn the treatments & monitoring devices & develop a plan. This plan would include a way to tell if your control is getting better or worse (peak flow meter,symptom chart).It would include a plan for daily meds and when to use episodic rescue meds.An understanding of when to call or go in.
