Follow your prescribed dose
Your dosage of Albutamol may differ based on your individual circumstances, and other medical conditions you may have. Always follow the instructions given to you by your doctor.
Missed a dose
If you forget a dose of Albuterol, don’t worry— as it's often taken when required for symptom relief rather than on a strict schedule.
Follow these instructions if you miss a dose:
If you have symptoms: Use your inhaler as soon as you need it.
If you take it regularly (e.g. to prevent exercise-induced asthma): Take the missed dose when you remember, but don’t take extra to make up for the missed dose.
