What is the dosage of salbutamol recommended for anyone over 25kg?

4 puffs (400mcg)/dose for a max of two doses prn 5-15mins
6 puffs (600mcg)/dose for a max of two doses prn 5-15mins
8 puffs (800mcg)/dose for a max of three doses prn 5-15mins
10 puffs (1000mcg)/dose for a max of two doses prn 5-15mins

The correct answer is: 8 puffs (800mcg)/dose for a max of three doses prn 5-15mins

The recommended dosage for anyone over 25kg is 8 puffs (800mcg) per dose. Option A and B may be too low of a dosage for someone over 25kg, as it only recommends a maximum of two doses. Option D may lead to an overdose, as it suggests a maximum of two doses at a much higher dosage. Option C is the correct answer as it provides a higher dosage for someone over 25kg and recommends a maximum of three doses.
