No permanent harm: Although regular use of solely a rescue beta inhaler may worsen asthma this apparently has not been the case for you. The guideline recommends that you be placed on a controller drug which should reduce your need for the rescue inhaler.

No: Albuterol is relatively safe and at the dose stated will not be considered an overdose. Take care. www.healthtap.com/florence.-nnebe
