Expired inhalers are not dangerous to use, but they may be less effective, which may be dangerous in situations of an asthma attack
When you have
How long after an expiration date can you use an inhaler? This is a question best left to your pharmacist or other healthcare provider
Generic Name (S): Uses
Albuterol (also known as salbutamol) is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems such as asthma
Inhaler salbutamol can be administered via a nebulizer or a spacer/inhaler
Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have decreased urine, dry mouth, increased thirst, irregular heartbeat, loss of appetite, mood changes, muscle pain or cramps, nausea, vomiting, numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips, trouble breathing, seizures, or unusual tiredness or weakness
It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways into the lungs, which makes it easier to breathe
If necessary, you can likely use your expired albuterol inhaler as it is probably still at least partially effective
The answer to this question is both yes and no, depending on the expired nebulizer solution that you have and how long it has expired
Always check the expiration date on your inhaler, and make sure to replace your inhaler before it expires

Each inhalation delivers 90mcg of albuterol from the mouthpiece and the manufacturer states a canister contains 200 doses
It might be that when you reach ZERO on the counter, there is a little bit left, but not a reliable amount per puff
63mg/3ml)? getting over viral infection and thinking about using my nebulizer
63 mg*/3 mL and 1
A salbutamol inhaler might be labelled 100mcg/dose, but if you got one fresh out off of the manufacturing line it's likely to be closer to 110mcg and one at expiry date might be down to 90mcg/dose
It is important to keep these factors in mind when using an expired inhaler
When this happens with an inhaler or with liquid for breathing in, most of the time it happens right after a dose and after the first use of a new canister or vial of albuterol syrup
