The number of inhaler puffs that can lead to a fatal overdose depends on the type of inhaler and its active ingredients. For example, beta-agonist inhalers, which are commonly used for Asthma, can cause serious side effects if taken excessively, but fatalities from them are rare. Inhalers containing corticosteroids have different risks, primarily related to long-term use rather than acute overdose. It's crucial to use inhalers as prescribed and consult a healthcare professional with any concerns about dosage or side effects.
