Is it safe to use the asthalin pump on a regular basis?

I have asthma and I have been using the asthalin pump on a regular basis to manage my breathing. Is it a safe drug or can it cause any side effects? If so, what are the side effects that I should look out for?

If not doing it, should be using a preventer like Seretide or Symbicort.
