if u have and Asthma attack it is hard to breathe and sometimes u tighten up it is so bad but if u are not that bad u have a blue inhaler and that is called a ventollin inhaler. if u are severe then u need the purple one and that is stronger then u have a preventer which is brown but it doesnt get rid of asthma it helps control it. so that is why u need an inhaler to help control asthma and if u don't control ur asthma u could die

Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the lungs. The key ingredient in Asthma inhalers is albuterol sulfate which is a bronchodilator. A bronchodilator causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the lungs and dilation of the airways, therefore relieving the constriction and inflammation associated with asthma.

Asthma inhalers dilate the bronchiole tubes using various types of drugs in order to allow air to pass more easily.

Are you referring to a B-agonist (bronchodilator) or an anti-inflammatory metered dose inhaler?

it's pretty much the same as an inhaler but instead of an emergency medication, it's a preventative daily medication
