A member asked:
How dangerous is it if i don't see a doctor after possibly over dosing on albuterol sulfate (6-7 puffs within an 9 hour period)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an overdose: 6-7 puffs of albuterol in 9 hours for your age is not an overdose; however, if you are using your rescue inhaler that much in a day, you should consult with your doctor to see what else may be going on. Are you on a daily controller medication?
