Is It Safe To Use Ventolin Inhaler On Being Allergic To Sulfate?

Yes please,I recently was perscribed ventolin inhaler and it contains albuterol sulfate, I had a past alergic reaction to sulfate in Bactrim Ds and antibiotic and to ear drops called Antipy/Benzo Otic Sol Baus which also contained sulfate. I am afraid to use this inhaler for fear of the sulfate in contains. I called the pharmacist and he said it should be ok. It is a different type of sulfate. If I was concerned to call the doctor. The nurse I taled to seemed to think it would be ok. Said if I was worried not to use it. It cost me 52.00 dollars. Ihaven't opened it yet.
