As an adult, I increase my treatments from 3 to 4 times a day if needed. But my prescription of xopenex (like albuterol) says "every 4-6 hours or as needed." I would definitely at least put a call into the doctor because you want to make sure you're not doing them too close together. That's my only concern.

We have always been told by my kid's cf team to do breathing treatments as needed. They always do 2 and they do 4 when really sick. Once or twice they did albuterol treatments every four-six hours.

DS's prescription for duoneb reads 4 times a day. When he was first diagnosed shortly after his birth, we did CPT 4-5 times a day, especially after he developed bronchitis at 3 months.

His doctor has told us if DS develops a cough or wheeze to "beat it out of him". So if he's feeling under the weather, we'll throw in another cpt/vest treatment, increase the time we do the treatment -- we usually do 3 a day -- 6 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. -- so we'll add one around noon or middle of the night. We were told to maintain a 4 hour separation between the bronchiodialators. Oh and when DS did have bronchitis and we were doing the extra treatments, I'd also give him some mini-CPT treatments. When I was holding him, I'd give him a few minutes of CPT, sometimes during church... It seemed to calm him and sometimes he'd fall asleep.
