salbutamol dossage

Does anyone know what the safe dosage of a salbutamol inhaler would be for a 4 year old? We haven't used it in a long time, the box is missing and i don't know how much to give him.

My dd (3) has two puffs, three times a day. However, I have a feeling that it isn't dangerous, and even if someone without asthma took it, it wouldn't do them any harm. So I don't think you can 'overdose'. HTH

Mine have 1 or 2 puffs 3 times a day. A gp told me that in the event of an emergency though, it can be taken every 10 minutes until you get to hospital.

My GP says that my DD can puf it into her spacer at least 24 times in an emergency. The amount actually inhaled is so small.
