Albuterol Inhaler (Bonair)

This medicine is prescribed for:

• Asthma attacks and asthma symptoms
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Bronchospasm caused by lung diseases
• Shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness
• Prevention of exercise-induced asthma
• Relief of breathing problems triggered by dust, smoke, pollen, pets, or cold air

This medicine works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs. This relaxes the muscles around the airways, widens the air passages, and allows air to flow more easily into and out of the lungs.

The effect usually begins within a few minutes and may last for 4 to 6 hours.

• Shake the inhaler well before use.
• Remove the cap and breathe out fully.
• Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and press the inhaler while breathing in deeply.
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.
• If another puff is needed, wait about 30 seconds before using the second puff.
• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• A spacer device may help if you have difficulty using the inhaler correctly.

Usual Dose:

• Adults and children: 1 to 2 puffs when needed
• Usually not more than 4 times in 24 hours unless advised by a doctor
• For exercise-induced asthma: 2 puffs about 15 to 30 minutes before exercise
