Experiences with

Salbutamol

His medications are Ventolin (salbutamol). Clenil (switched from Becatide) and more recently Montelukast. We visit Alder Hey Childrens hospital at least monthly, somtimes weekly with severe attacks. He is patched up and sent home, despite my requests for some type of care plan.

He is at present taking 400mg Salbutamol, 200mg Becotide and 50mg Sevent which is double his prescibed dose due to the way his asthma has been.

the doctors dont take it seriously, but i feel it is. they have given her a blue salbutamol easibreathe inhaler to take 3 times a day, but it doesnt really make a difference.

We took him to casualty where they gave him a of steroids and salbutamol. We stayed there for a few hours untill they were happy that his breathing was ok. They said it was possibly a viral wheeze and that if it occured again to take him to our GP.

He has come home really poorly, had to have his salbutamol inhaler. His peak flow was 140. I asked him if he had been ill at school.

Now I am on salbutamol and hoping the boundless hyper behaviour my son displays when on it kicks in and I will skip around like a kid at a birthday party

Yesterday it was atrovent then 2hrs later salbutamol and so on. He is also on the singulair sachets each day.

(Budesonide/pulmicort 1mg nebules twice daily, Montelukast, sere vent and salbutamol!) Really need some help and advice now! Anyone?

we have Salbutamol and Clenil Modulate inhalers plus a supply of Pred for emergencies. But think the hosp has probably passed that info on. I assume the meds and plan will be kept as they are, and the appointment is just to see how he is?? Is that the case?

Hi all, my little one turned two in March and has just been diagnosed as asthmatic after four attacks since October, all of which they've treated with prednisolone and salbutamol.

I am at present struggerling to keep his peak flows above 190 - 200 after salbutamol, without salbutamol he is getting 170 and struggerling.......

Anyway, I took him to the Emergency doctor who gave him a Salbutamol inhaler which seems to lessen the coughing, although it hasnt gone completely Anyone have any ideas?

My daughter Chloe is 5 and suffers from severe asthma ,food allergies and hayfever.I am at my wits end at the moment as her asthma is so poorly controlled. her medication is 10 puffs salbutamol 4 hourly, 5mg salbutamol nebs when required, seretide 50 4 puffs 3 x daily , Atrovent 2 puffs twice daily ,

He is currently having 2 puffs of pulmicort in the morning and same in the evening, 10 puffs of salbutamol every 3-4 hours, 2 puffs of attruvent every 6 hours and a sachet of singulair montelukast every evening.

i have 2 asthmatic sons aged 8 n 5 yrs. i have been told many times on our very regular trips to a n e and childrens wards that i cant overdose them on salbutamol and that a 200puff inhler is same as 1 nebuliser. reading some posts on here i feel what ive been told is way out.

After being discharged he was told to take 10 puff salbutamol for 2 days, 8 puffs for next 2 days - 4-6 puffs for the next two days and they 2 puffs as and when required. We are on 4 puffs every 4 hours at present.

On the first discharge he was told to reduce the salbutamol gradually until he was better. On the 2nd discharge they added two puffs of becotide continuesly. On 3rd discharge they doubled the dose of becotide and told me he needs to be referred to the respiratory clinic by my GP.

I have said before but she is on: Salbutamol - up to 10 puffs as required Seretide - 2 puffs twice a day Cromogen/Intal - 2 puffs, 4 times a day Montelukast - Every Night Cetirizine - Every night Has anyone's child had similar symptoms that won't go away?

She is on :- Seritide 125 Salbutamol Methotrexate Uniphyllin Prednisolone (been on for two years) Montelukast Desloratadine Omeprazole Folic acid Sandocal Flixonase nasal spray Is this a normal amount ?

I'm not sure how much Salbutamol to administer - in the past i've felt it necessary to give the maximum 10 puffs - which the hospital said was the right amount - however as its not as bad this time - what is a better amount to give him - please can someone advise me as soon as possible - any advice is
