A member asked:
Should i take xopenex at first sign of wheezing or wait? i wheeze after exercise and during allergies and cold. sometimes it goes away on its own and i dont want to use too much.

Mgt: I would suggest taking one or two puffs to control your symptoms. Typically, no more than 8 puffs in 24 hours is recommended. Wheezing is a sign of asthma and I would recommend seeing your PCP for assessment and an action plan. An online consultation may also be booked online.
