"Ventolin" is a single by Aphex Twin which originally appeared on the album ...I Care Because You Do. The song is named after Ventolin, the asthma drug which induces in some cases a high pitched ringing in the ears for those who take it. It has been called one of the most abrasive singles ever recorded due to its high trebles and intense beats.[1]. The track consists of a brash, high pitched ring, lasting for the whole song, with heavily distorted techno beats in the background.

Its music video consists of a woman being trapped in an elevator with other images interspersed.

Warp Records released the United Kingdom single for "Ventolin" on 12" vinyl and CD in two parts, Ventolin and Ventolin Remixes. The United States release by Sire Records collects all of the tracks on a single CD.

"Ventolin (Crowsmengegus Mix)" contains the hidden track, "Respect List", which was later issued on 51/13 Aphex Singles Collection.
