If you are wondering how to use VapoLung spray, the label gives one direction: shake the bottle well, then spray 4 pumps directly into your mouth or onto your tongue once a day. It is taken by mouth, not breathed in, and it is not a vape, inhaler or nebulizer liquid.
Sudden or severe trouble breathing is an emergency. Call 911 right away.
What do the VapoLung directions say?
The Suggested Use section of the VapoLung label gives two steps, and no others:
- Shake well before each use.
- Spray 4 pumps directly into mouth or onto tongue once daily.
The label’s storage line says “Keep away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve freshness.” The label also says to keep the bottle out of the reach of children.
Is VapoLung taken by mouth or breathed in?
It is taken by mouth. The label directs the spray into the mouth or onto the tongue, and the VapoLung sales page describes it as “a dietary supplement in liquid form, developed for oral administration.” It is not a vape, an inhaler or a nebulizer liquid.
How many servings are in a bottle, and how long does it last?
Here is what each VapoLung source prints about supply.
| Item | What the source says |
|---|---|
| Serving size | 4 Sprays (0.60 mL), per the label’s Supplement Facts panel |
| Servings per container | 100, per the label’s Supplement Facts panel |
| Bottle size | 60 mL (2 oz), per the bottle artwork on the sales page |
| Package length | 2 bottles: 60 Day Supply; 3 bottles: 90 Day Supply; 6 bottles: 180 Day Supply, per the sales page |
The label’s 100 servings per container and the sales page’s 60 Day Supply for two bottles do not line up. Ask VapoLung which figure applies to your bottle before you plan your supply.
Can I use VapoLung with an inhaler?
VapoLung is a supplement, and a supplement is not a replacement for prescribed treatment. Changes to an inhaler or any other prescription are for your prescriber to decide. The FDA 101: Dietary Supplements guide says FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness, or their labels, before they are sold to the public. It also says: “Before taking a dietary supplement, talk with your health care professional.”
The NIH Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet says to talk to your health care providers before taking any dietary supplement.
Ask a pharmacist these questions before you use it next to an inhaler:
- Can I use this spray alongside my inhaler?
- Does anything in the Supplement Facts panel interact with my prescriptions?
- Should my prescriber know I am using it?
Bring the bottle label with you so the pharmacist can read the ingredient list. For more on checking supplements against your medicines, read Everyday Wellness and Supplement Safety.
