When to See a Doctor

Contact your doctor immediately if your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after using your Ventolin inhaler as directed.

    Seek immediate medical attention if you experience breathing difficulties that interfere with your daily activities or cause significant distress. If you experience wheezing, coughing, or chest tightness that doesn’t respond to your inhaler within 15-20 minutes, seek immediate medical care. Schedule an appointment with your doctor if you find yourself using your Ventolin inhaler more often than prescribed. Increased shortness of breath, particularly at rest, warrants a doctor’s visit. A persistent cough that produces excessive mucus also requires medical attention.

You should also consult your doctor if:

You experience any side effects from the medication, such as tremors, headache, or nausea. You have questions about proper inhaler technique or medication dosage. You need a refill of your Ventolin inhaler and are unable to obtain one through your usual means. Your asthma symptoms change significantly, requiring adjustments to your treatment plan.

Regular check-ups with your physician are recommended to monitor your asthma and ensure your treatment remains effective. Don’t hesitate to contact your doctor if you have any concerns.
