Additional information

Ventolin Respirator Solution (Salbutamol) is typically inhaled as needed. You can repeat the dose every 4 to 6 hours. A maximum of 4 inhalations in a 24 hour period is allowed. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. Dilute the solution in 2 to 5 mL or more of sterile normal saline (a sterilized mixture of water and salt). Adjust the nebulizer flow to deliver the dosage over 5 to 15 minutes, avoid contact of the dropper tip (multidose bottle) with any surface, including the nebulizer reservoir and associated ventilator equipment. Use a mask device if the patient is unable to hold the mouthpiece in the mouth for administration. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often, than prescribed. If you forget a dose, contact your pharmacist.
