Ventolin contains no steroids and contains the active ingredient of albuterol which is a sympathomimetic beta agonist bronchodilator which relaxes your smoothe muscle in your airways.
As a result the the airways being relaxed it allows air to flow in and out of your lungs more easily and makes it easier to breathe.
The VENTOLIN HFA inhaler has a dose counter which counts down each time a spray is released.
At any given time, the dose counter of the Ventolin inhaler shows how many sprays of albuterol are left in your inhaler.
