I dont have much idea about homeopathic medicines. But inhaler are good for asthma patient. My mom is using it for many years and her asthma is under control. As your friend had attack, Its better to think twice on the medicine he chose. Speedy recovery for your friend

He needs to continue taking his medicine and using his inhaler when necessary. Asthma can kill a person if they don't take care of it. Air is reeeally important.

I've been using an inhaler for my asthma since I was in high school. (I'm about your friend's age now). There are new medicines out now to take daily to help reduce asthma attacks but they doctors always recommend keeping an inhaler hander in case of an attack as the inhaler fixes the problem almost immediately. Side effects with albuterol inhalers aren't very common and even then they are pretty mild. The only thing to worry about would be if your friend had a heart condition as inhalers speed up the heart rate temporarily. He should discuss it with his doctor who will be able to tell him about risks. Even if he wants to continue the homeopathy, he should keep an inhaler handy in case of an attack.

i don't think there is a side effect for the inhaler , i think there is no problem in using inhalers so let your friend use inhaler as he is having astma .
