There are many types of inhalers used to treat asthma.  Some are called "controllers" which are to be taken every day to prevent attacks.  Some are used to treat attacks of asthma and are used only when you are having problems (tightness in the chest and/or wheezing).  Probably the most important thing for you to do is to speak with your physician about your medications.  Know which ones are to be taken every day and which ones are not.  It is best to have a written plan from your physician that will help you to know what to do when you are well and when you are having problems.
Good luck
