Ventolin (albuterol) is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.

Ventolin HFA is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm, or narrowing of the airways in the lungs, in people with asthma or certain types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.

Ventolin HFA is for use in adults and children who are at least 4 years old.
