Ventolin- HFA 90 mcg... was prescribed to me as a rescue inhaler I find it to work very well. I tried others before this that I didn't think work as well, but every one is different, It might be great for you as it is for me, or you might find something else that works better. I use Symbicort twice a day in the am and again at night and find this helps me so I don't need the ventolin as often. If I'm going out to do strenuous work that I know will cause me shortness of breath I take a couple puffs of the ventolin before hand and find this helps a lot to. Hope this Helps.
