Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Treatment of acute bronchitis needs antibiotic, antihistamine , antiinflammatory drugs with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Albuterol is long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA). It's action lasts for 12 hours.
So better to take it twice daily.
Twice in a day will give you more relief.
So consult your doctor and discuss about this dose modification and addition of other drugs for better symptomatic relief.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
