VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution is indicated for the relief of bronchospasm in patients 2 years of age and older with reversible obstructive airway disease and acute attacks of bronchospasm.

Adults and Children 2 to 12 Years of Age: The usual dosage for adults and for children weighing at least 15 kg is 2.5 mg of albuterol (one NEBULE^®) administered three to four times daily by nebulization. Children weighing less than 15 kg who require less than 2.5 mg/dose (i.e., less than a full NEBULE) should use VENTOLIN Inhalation Solution instead of VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution. More frequent administration or higher doses are not recommended. To administer 2.5 mg of albuterol, administer the entire contents of one sterile unit dose NEBULE (3 mL of 0.083% inhalation solution) by nebulization. The flow rate is regulated to suit the particular nebulizer so that VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution will be delivered over approximately 5 to 15 minutes.

The use of VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution can be continued as medically indicated to control recurring bouts of bronchospasm. During this time most patients gain optimal benefit from regular use of the inhalation solution.

If a previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide the usual relief, medical advice should be sought immediately as this is often a sign of seriously worsening asthma that would require reassessment of therapy.

Drug compatibility (physical and chemical), efficacy, and safety of VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution when mixed with other drugs in a nebulizer have not been established.

VENTOLIN NEBULES Inhalation Solution, 0.083% is contained in plastic, sterile, unit dose nebules of 3 mL each supplied in foil pouches in boxes of 25 (NDC 0173-0419-00).
