Store Ventolin HFA at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect it from extreme heat and cold. Never freeze it.
Disposal
Once your prescription expires or you no longer need the inhaler, dispose of it properly. Follow your local guidelines for medication disposal. Many pharmacies offer take-back programs. Never flush medication down the toilet or throw it in the trash.
When to See a Doctor
Contact your physician immediately if you experience any serious side effects, such as a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, or severe tremors. Also, schedule an appointment if your symptoms worsen, don’t improve, or if you need a higher dose of Ventolin HFA to manage your breathing. Regular check-ups with your doctor are important to monitor your asthma control.
Missed Dose
Take your dose as soon as you remember, but skip the missed dose if it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose.
