Q: Is it safe to take bronchodilator once only for asthma?

IS it right to drink bronchodilator tablet once only as a relief when my asthma triggers instead using it in normal dose (3x a day)? is it safe? or should i consult my doctor?

Are you referring to drinking the albuterol solution, or swallowing a bronchodilator pill?  Regardless, I would never take a medicine any other way than what is prescribed by your doctor, unless you contact him and get his permission.
