Dosage of Asthma Inhaler
By: Keith O | Posted: 25th November 2008
The dose of your Albuterol Inhaler your health care provider recommended should be strictly followed. You may only adjust it only when you are specifically instructed to do so. It typically varies depending on the severity of your asthma or other respiratory problems, whether you are using the your inhaler to prevent or treat asthma, and implications with other medicines you are taking at the moment.
General Albuterol Inhaler Dosage :
Typically, to treat or prevent an asthma attack, the recommended dosage is 2 sprays or as needed, every 4 to 6 hours. To prevent exercise-induced asthma, it is recommended to have 2 sprays 15 to 30 minutes before exercising. However, if your Albuterol Inhaler does not adequately or effectively control your asthma attack, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Above are only some general dosage guidelines when using an Albuterol Inhaler. Different patients have different asthma conditions or breathing problems. Some patients need only 1 spray to control their asthma symptoms where others may need more sprays frequently. Some use an inhaler to prevent an attack where some use it only during an attack when they need it.About the Author
