hi my son is 3 and has the same dosage every day, as well as taking 4 prednisolone tablets once a day and his becotide inhaler every 4 hours up to 6 puffs, and a nebuliser taking 2.5g of salbutamol solution twice a day when he has an attack. i also felt that it was very high doseages i was giving him but my specialist reasuured me a number of times that its ok.

if you find out otherwise i would be really greatful if you could also let me know.

thanks stacey xx
