Hello, does ventolin contain ethanol??

I am currently using fostair but since it contains ethanol I cant use it for 24h (I got vaccination). Is it then okay tu use ventolin if needed?

GSK Ventolin contains HFA 134a and contains a small amount of ethanol. HFA is the propellant in aerosol inhalers. If you're unsure about any reaction between your vaccination and your meds then talk with your pharmacist, GP or Asthma UK.
