A member asked:
If i take one asthma preventer medication puff, hold it for 30 seconds and release before repeating it again immediately after, would this count as one dose or two?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Two. The dose is what is delivered by the device per activation. If you activate it twice, you have delivered 2 doses.

A repeat dose is the second dose or puff. Review the use of your inhaler with your physician, and a virtual consult with Healthtap is available. There are also several videos available online.
