Maybe it’s how you are defining “rescue”. It might help you feel better in the short term, but if you were having a serious attack and in danger of dying, it possibly wouldn’t help fast enough is my assumption.
My asthma isnt that severe maybe. I dont really have “attacks” per se i just get a bir wheezy and take it which clears it up the odd time it happens
It is a rescue or does rescue in the sense it immediatey clears up the wheezing/-yness…
FWIW, i used to rely on Ventolin as a rescue and I was using it like 7 times a day (often using it up early before the next refill) until my Dr switched me to Symbicort and suggested I treat it like a rescue and I was almost immediately down to 1 or less puffs a day and now its less than 3x/week, often much less
