An inhaler that has a specific fast acting medication in it, usually Albuterol. It works quickly when you have sudden symptoms, which is why they call it a "rescue" inhaler. Other Asthma meds or COPD meds like an inhaler that has a steroid, like Advair, are more maintainence inhalers and would not be used to relieve sudden symptoms.
