Surprising yes. I would like to know a definitive answer about using the inhaler vs the nebulized version of albuterol. I'm not sure how the inhaler could equal the nebulized version when the dosages are different? It would be great if it is the same because it would cut down on our time spent nebulizing!

Perhaps it's the dosing time. Albuterol puffer says take 4-6 hours, and Levalbuterol Inhalation Solution every 6-8 hours.

Your pharmacist may be the best resource for this question.

@cwal, @batare58, @scoop and all who hve begun asking which is better, inhaler or nebulizer? I have started a new discussion with a single reference article:

Stop in and contribute, please. Especially @scoop - you are so good at research, and my ability to stay at the keyboard is still limited. I know there are studis - can you find them?
