Hi,

Duoline contains the same molecule (Salbutamol) which is present in Ventolin, with the addition of Ipratropium bromide, both of these are bronchodilators (open airways, the basis on which it is used in asthma). If Ventolin is not available, I would have suggested Salbutamol alone with some other trade name, but if that's not available, it's safe to use Duoline, either alone or mixed with Pulmicort.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
