What's the difference between ventolin hfa and ventolin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The additives: It is the same medicine in each. The difference is in the propellants added so the medication comes out in a mist. The hfa is supposed to be a bit safer for the environment, but both should work equally as well on your asthma symptoms as rescue inhalers.

Spirometry test before taking ventolin and after resulted in no difference. Then told to not take symbicort for 6 weeks and come back for another test. Test showed breathing fine. Was told to discontinue puffer as I dont have asthma. Do you agree?
