My brother had a bad cough a few months ago and was given an albuterol inhaler by our doctor. Now, I have bronchitis, nothing is really working to stop the cough. It worked great for him, and I just found his inhaler.
It says "Two inhalations every four to six hours as necessary."
But, there's a "MicroChamber" attached to it, it says its for metered-dose inhalers.
Do you know if I'm supposed to fill the chamber, then inhale from it, or just inhale as I pump?
And, how many pumps should I use?
Thanks!
p.s. I know someone will say "don't use it unless it's prescribed for you!" I know I shouldn't, but nothing is working, I'm trying it.
