A member asked:

I use asthalin inhaler wen i get wheezing or feel breathless! any other medicine or inhaler is better or it is okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OK: The active ingredient is salbutamol which is very good for acute episodes of wheezing. If you are having to use this inhaler often, then i would recommend you visit your physician to possibly be placed on a maintenance inhaler as well.
