Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Inhalierung
German term or phrase: Inh. A + S
Same 90-year old patient as before. In the list of drugs, this is one line. "Inh." must stand for "Inhalierung" (as the type of administration is given as inhalation), but what does A + S stand for? Couldn't find anything online.

Thank you for your help, as always!

Explanation:
If it's inhalation then it may refer to Albuterol plus steroid inhaler. Could you send me the entire text so I can look it over. New to the site.

Thanks to everybody for their input. After researching answer, I went with "Albuterol Sulfate", which I would't have found without your answer. As there was no context, this remains a guess.
