Salbutamol in any form is not good. It's a rescue medication and only given in acute emergency. As per asthma guidelines salbutamol is not prefered anymore.

Not at all. Oral use of salbutamol has to be avoided for long term use especially in old age patients as it has side effects on heart. So better get your patient evaluated by a Pulmonologist
