In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Inhalers commonly used by asthmatics are permissible for use. The use of the inhaler during the fast, does break it however, if there is an urgent need, then one must use the inhaler and make up the fast later.

I hope this answers your question.

And Allah knows Best
