Albuterol dosage in babies

Albuterol is typically administered to infants and young children via a nebulizer or metered-dose inhaler (MDI) with a spacer. The usual dosage for infants is 0.15 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 2.5 mg) given every 4 to 6 hours as needed. However, it's crucial to consult a pediatrician for the appropriate dosage and frequency tailored to the child's specific condition and response to treatment. Always follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for safety.
