Question Hello Sir, I have a left-over prescription for an Albuterol inhaler from May 2005. If I need it for an emergency could it still be viable? Thank you for any info you can give me.
Answer Hi Barbara,
There should be an expiry date printed on the cannister. If it is in date then you are ok to use it. If it has been idle for that long, you will need to prime it with 4 puffs before te first use.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm.
