If you miss a dose of DuoNeb (ipratropium and albuterol), use your nebulizer as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and use your nebulizer at the next scheduled time. Don't take more of the medication than prescribed to make up for the missed dose. The recommended dose of DuoNeb is four inhaled doses a day, with up to two more doses a day if needed to control symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
