Your doctor will determine the correct Combivent dosage for your specific needs. Typical prescriptions range from two puffs twice daily to four puffs four times daily, administered via the inhaler. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Incorrect dosage can lead to ineffective treatment or adverse effects.
Understanding the Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI)
Combivent is delivered via an MDI. Each puff delivers a precise amount of medication. Ensure you properly prime the inhaler as instructed in the patient leaflet before first use. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose.
Managing Side Effects
Common side effects include dry mouth, headache, and throat irritation. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any unexpected or concerning side effects. They can advise on managing these or adjusting your dosage.
