How long until you can use your inhaler after puffs ?

And I just like sprayed it.It taste nasty and some of it went on my tongue.It sorta burns now lmao.But did i get the medicine?I don’t have asthma.I just have breathing issues.

Answer #1

It depends on the inhaler. what did the doctor give it for? Just because you can’t breathe or to use everyday? Also when you use it you should exhale and then blow it into your mouth and while you are blowing, inhale, almost like you would do when you smoke…. that way you’ll get it in the right way.

Answer #2

U r supposed to wait 4 hrs in between puffs, take 2 puffs wait 4 hrs

Answer #3

Ohh,Well it’s like my second time using it since the doctor gave it to me.like that was a couple days ago.Im learning how to use it still lol so i mess up alot.I have to use two fingers to press down.

Answer #4

thannnks.

Answer #5

Most Dr. prescribe a maximum of 2 puffs every 4 - 6 hours (though it differs per Dr/person). I would highly suggest you go to the pharmacy and get a Aero Chamber to use with your inhaler, it makes using it far easier and helps to insure you get the medicene properly.

Answer #6

my inhaler says wait 6-7 hours until you take another does. i usually take 2 puffs; a mintue in-between each.

Answer #7

One I had for asthma was 2 puffs per dose, 4hrs apart, no more than 4 dose per 24hr period. Your supposed to exhale completely, and as your are inhaling squeeze 2 puffs into your moth and keep inhaling - then hold your breath for as long as possible. Then just deal with the nasty taste of albuterol in the back of your throat for the next several hours. I didn’t have to use mine often, but I would always use it preventatively before long runs in gym class

Answer #8

As there are many types of inhaled meds, you need to ask your MD of pharmacist for exact dosage.

Answer #9
