How To Use Accuneb
Inhale Accuneb by mouth using a special breathing device (nebulizer) usually 3 or 4 times daily as needed; or as directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or a respiratory therapist on the proper use of a nebulizer with Accuneb. The usual dose is one 3 ml vial added to the nebulizer, but may vary based upon your medical condition and response to therapy. Use Accuneb exactly as prescribed. Do not increase the dose, use it more frequently, or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because doing so may increase your risk of serious side effects. If Accuneb stops working well and/or your medical condition worsens, consult your doctor. You may require other medications or different dosing of Accuneb to treat your condition. In the nebulizer, do not mix Accuneb solution with other inhaled products. Before using, check this product visually for any particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
