Buy Request a Ventolin (Albuterol) Online
Meet online with a licensed provider at Rosary Dental to discuss your asthma or breathing symptoms. If it is safe and clinically appropriate, a prescription for a Ventolin (albuterol) rescue inhaler can be sent to a pharmacy.
How the Ventolin Telemedicine Visit Works
- Complete a brief online intake form about your breathing symptoms and medical history.
- Connect with a licensed provider by secure video or phone.
- Discuss your asthma triggers, current inhalers, and recent flare-ups.
- If Ventolin is appropriate, a prescription is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
If the provider is concerned about severe or unstable asthma, they may recommend in-person evaluation instead of an online prescription.
What Ventolin (Albuterol) Does
Ventolin HFA is a short-acting beta-agonist (“rescue”) inhaler. It relaxes the muscles around the airways in your lungs, quickly opening them up to relieve wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
It is not a long-term controller medicine and does not replace inhaled steroids or other daily asthma treatments your doctor may prescribe.
How to Use Your Ventolin Inhaler Correctly
Proper inhaler technique is essential for the medicine to reach your lungs. Your provider or pharmacist can demonstrate the correct steps and may recommend using a spacer device.
- Shake the inhaler before each use, and prime it as instructed if it is new or unused for some time.
- Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and press the canister as you begin to slowly inhale.
- Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale gently.
- Wait about one minute between puffs if more than one is prescribed.
If you are unsure about technique during a telehealth visit, ask the provider to review each step with you.
When to Contact a Doctor or Seek Emergency Care
Rescue inhalers are designed for occasional symptom relief. If you need Ventolin several times per week, wake up at night with symptoms, or have limited activity due to breathing problems, your asthma may not be well controlled.
Contact your healthcare provider promptly if:
- You notice you are using Ventolin more often than usual.
- Your peak flow readings drop or remain in the yellow or red zone.
- You experience side effects such as rapid heartbeat, tremor, or chest pain.
Call emergency services immediately if your breathing is severely impaired, Ventolin does not provide relief, or you have signs of a serious asthma attack.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ventolin (Albuterol)
How often can I use my Ventolin inhaler?
Most adults use 1–2 puffs every 4–6 hours as needed for sudden asthma symptoms, but your exact instructions will come from your provider. If you need it more frequently, contact a doctor.
Is Ventolin safe for children?
Ventolin is prescribed for many children with asthma, but dosing and device choice depend on age and weight. Only use Ventolin for a child under the guidance of a pediatric provider.
Can I exercise after using Ventolin?
Many patients use Ventolin 10–15 minutes before exercise to prevent symptoms. Your provider can advise whether this is appropriate for you and how to incorporate it into your asthma action plan.
Does telehealth replace seeing a lung specialist?
Telehealth can handle mild to moderate, stable asthma in many patients. However, if your symptoms are complex or poorly controlled, your provider may recommend referral to a pulmonologist or allergist for in-person care.
