For most fasting acting bronchodilators (albuterol) and some inhaled steroids (flovent), two puffs is the common dose.
If used correctly, an inhaler is just as effective as a nebulizer treatment. In other words with proper technique you can get a good dose of an inhaler in 3 minutes as with a 10 minute nebulizer treatment.

There is no comparison between the two. It is far better to take the nebulized treatment regularly and use the inhalers only in emergencies. A lot cheaper too.

2 puffs on a MDI vs 3.0 Mil for Neb.
Neb treatment is about 8 Min
BUT if you have a problem with CFC Or HFA propellants neb is a better normal use
