A member asked:
My doctor prescribed me ventolin 400mcg 2 times daily isn't that too much cause i have to take 4 puffs at one time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inhaler: The ventolin inhaler is remeasured such that the amount would be deemed adequate but not toxic and the actual usage is 2 puffs every 4 hours as needed. 4puffs at one time has been proven to have too much side effect for some people.
