The dosage should be adapted to the individual requirements. The following dosages are recommended for adults and children >6 years: Acute asthma episodes: 21 mcg ipratropium bromide + 50 mcg fenoterol hydrobromide: 2 actuations are sufficient for prompt symptom relief in many cases. In more severe cases, if breathing has not noticeably improved after 5 minutes, two further actuations may be taken.
If an attack has not been relieved by 4 actuations, further actuations may be required.
In these cases, patients should be advised to consult the doctor or the nearest hospital immediately.
