Advice & Tips
I only take Ventolin as an asthma rescue medication, that is I only use it on days when I cannot breath easily, usually this is due to high humidity, or a high pollen count; otherwise I rely on my longer-acting steroid medication (Pulmicort), which I always take twice a day to prevent the severe asthma attacks.
