Big up the asthmatic massif!
Although my doctor says that I don't really need an inhaler, as it's not that bad.
Symptomatic asthma is how my doctor put it. I get severely asthmatic when I get sick.

Salmeterol. He's told me a fair bit about it, and I can't seem to find anything bad about it online...

I had it, so I can sympathise. Fortunately I seem to have grown out of it in the last few years, although my lung capacity isn't what it should be, but I am striving to keep healthy to try and bring it up to its best.

I was going to say I haven't heard of it but in fact I use something that has it in it.
It's a pill crusher that you inhale. I use it when there is crap in my lungs. It does clear them out.
You really don't see anything on a search? I found 10 pages worth.....
