hi my daughter is 6 and suffers from chronic troublesome asthma and sees a consultant at our local hospital over the past few months her asthma has been getting worse so her consultant prescribed a seretide inhaler to replace her montelukast tablets and becotide, seretide is a combination inhaler this still didnt help so he has asked to start the montelukast again of a higher dose 5mg and a higher dose of the seretide 250 but when i went to the pharmacy they told me they dont recommend this inhaler for children under 12 and i thought the seretide had the montelukast in it so why take this as well .the pharmacist phoned her consultant and he said it would be fine am i just an over protective mum or has he got it wrong[we all make mistakes] i dont want to be overdosing my daughter or giving her medication not suitable for her age.
