4.2   Posology and method of administration

Posology
The dosage should be adapted to the individual requirements of the patient; patients should also be kept under medical supervision during treatment. It is advisable not to greatly exceed the recommended daily dose during both acute and maintenance treatment.
If therapy does not produce a significant improvement or if the patient's condition worsens, medical advice must be sought in order to determine a new regimen of therapy. In the case of acute or rapidly worsening dyspnea, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
The recommended dosage is as follows:

Adults
Usually 1 or 2 puffs four times daily, although some patients may need up to 4 puffs at a time to obtain maximum benefit during early treatment. However, the total number of inhalations should not exceed 12 in 24 hours.

Children
6-12 years: Usually 1 or 2 puffs three times daily.
In order to ensure that the inhaler is used correctly, administration should be supervised by an adult.
The dose recommendations are the same for children < 6 years of age. As there is insufficient ex- perience in this age group, inhalation of the product should be medically supervised.
