Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage. Never exceed the recommended amount.
Typical adult dosage ranges from 1-2 inhalations, two to four times daily. Your specific needs will determine the frequency and number of inhalations.
Children’s dosages vary significantly based on age and weight. Your pediatrician will provide precise instructions.
Spacing inhalations is crucial. Wait approximately one minute between puffs from the same inhaler. This allows for maximum medication delivery.
Using a spacer can significantly improve the medication’s effectiveness, especially for children and those with difficulty coordinating inhaler use. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Observe your symptoms closely. If your breathing doesn’t improve or worsens, contact your doctor immediately. Do not adjust your dosage without medical guidance.
Proper inhaler technique is vital. Your healthcare provider can demonstrate the correct technique to ensure you receive the proper amount of medicine.
Store your inhaler according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, this means keeping it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience side effects such as rapid heartbeat, tremors, or nervousness. These may indicate a need for dosage adjustment or a different treatment.
