Introduction

Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use Nebzmart B 0.5mg Smartules (2ml Each). It is important that you take the lowest dose needed to effectively control your asthma. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks.
