Does Anyone Else Have A Bad Day With Their Cough And Then Wonder If They Actually Did Take The 2nd Dose Of Their Inhaler?

Shawnee, KS

Had a pretty tight day yesterday. No extra stress, no extra activity, etc. I remember looking at my inhaler thinking, "which would be safer..in puff or 3?" Anyone else have this problem? Can't take the puffs at the same time..that is what messes me up.

Keep a pad under your inhaler and right it down when you take it! The only way to remember Angie. God bless you,

I use a maintenance inhaler twice a day and a rescue inhaler as needed. I sometimes think, "Did I use my maintenance inhaler?" I also have times when I am uncertain if I need my rescue inhaler. You'd think I'd know. I'm a retired nurse!

Hi Angie. I take one pill TID and I have to set an alarm on my phone for 2:30 pm to remember it. I don't know anything about inhalers. ๐Ÿซ‚

I think it depends on what kind of inhaler youโ€™re taking if itโ€™s albuterol an extra hit is probably OK. Otherwise I would check with my doctor.
