How Often Should I Use a Ventolin Inhaler?
Like any other drug the Ventolin inhaler has a specific number of doses that you should take within any one 24 hour period. Knowing what this is is important to prevent overdose and allow you to use your inhaler when needed without fear of overdosing.
This article gives the standard usage doses but as always the documentation that came with your inhaler should be checked or GP consulted.
Can I take another dose of my Ventolin inhaler if it doesn't work first time?
It is usually acceptable to take a second puff of your inhaler if you are having an asthma attack and the first puff did not relieve it.
You should however wait for at least thirty seconds before taking a second puff.
