I am on a nebulizer 4 times daily. Every 6 hours. I have an Albuterol rescue inhaler to use for flare-ups. But you should ask your doctor. Hopefully you get the answer you need!šŸ˜

Do as the doctor ordered

Check the prescription. Usually that will tell you up to 4X a day, or something similar. If you go over that, you're technically over-medicating. Using that much albuterol every day would send some people into tachycardia, so know your limitations.

I'm glad you have a pulmonologist who will work with your local PCP. That always helps!

Hi Jean, Thanks for your advice, there is no pulmonologist were I live in the Bahamas but a few local doctors. My pulmonologist that is in Nassau said it was ok to use my nebulizer three times per day which Iā€™m doing. The doctors where I live are not professionals in COPD. Trust you are doing well, breathing easy & my God bless
