I use the Ventolin as a rescue inhaler, and it seems to work well for me, used to use Xopenex, but, after they changed the propellant it didn't help me anymore, so on to the Ventolin. To: [email]asthma [/email] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011

I use the Ventolin as a rescue inhaler, and it seems to work well for me, used to use Xopenex, but, after they changed the propellant it didn't help me anymore, so on to the Ventolin. To: asthma Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 1:22 PM Subject: Rescue inhaler question

Does anyone use QVAR or Ventolin as a rescue inhaler? Any comments on these or on those you use or have tried?My husband, Bob, has been given samples of each by his primary care doctor. So far, Bob doesn't feel a difference in the two. Ventolin contains albuterol sulfate. He also uses an Ipratropium Bromide and Albuterol Sulfate inhalation solution in his nebulizer.

He purchased the Ventolin; then the doctor gave him a sample of Qvar. Qvar is composed of beclomethasone dipropionate HFA.Sometimes it seems as if doctors in the USA hand out many samples, hoping to get feedback from their patients.
