Albuterol Solution Dosage (Cont.)

General Albuterol Solution Dosage Information

Some considerations for people taking albuterol solution include the following:
 
  • Albuterol solution comes in a liquid form that is used in a nebulizer. You will need to purchase or rent a nebulizer in order to use albuterol solution.
     
  • Single-use albuterol solution vials are used without being diluted, while each dose from a multi-use albuterol solution vial will need to be diluted with sterile normal saline solution (sodium chloride 0.9 percent) to a volume of 3 mL.
     
  • Make sure you know exactly how to measure the dose and how to use and clean the nebulizer.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to your albuterol solution or your albuterol solution dosage, please talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
