albuterol dosage for toddlers

hello my two years old son has an anemia and now is taking ferrous sulfide 3 bottles he took the first bottle already so befor e the 2 blood test due date he had an allergy asme coughing so his taking liquid ventolin albuterol,and ceron for cough and prednisolone orapred, its ben already 4 days and now i can see under his eyes bruises like sometimes reddish sometimes blue and dark specially at nights.

Nasal and throat cultures test negative except for rhinovirus. Albuterol (qid) Combivent (BID) combined treatment resolved shortness of breath finally so dropped albuterol and combivent... but cough still persists. Follow up again with Pulm increased dosage of Flovent to 110. Sorry so detailed, just wanted to convey that we have tried MANY approaches. He is still coughing. Albeit less frequently on some days, but still very bronchial cough. Wet, non productive. No drainage and No fevers EVER.

I use Albuterol Inhalers for my asthma and I've been recently having some trouble with 'em. My mom and I share the same dosages, which I find really weird since I just merely have asthma and she has emphysema as well. But, I've brought that to the attention of m doctor but she still said I needed the same dosage. Plus, it makes me really jittery and shaky.

hey , thank you for taking your time to be here for all of us. i never had asthma now they say i have it been sick with cold oct 17 turn into this i feel better but sometimes feel like am under water, so i have inhalers but so scared to take because of heart racing etc. do all inhalers do that and are there any that dont. i wheeze alot at night but to scared to take a puff. plus they putting me on tricor for high tris i think will all my meds mix with that to.

I have not used Spiriva so I am unsure of its dosage, but I have taken ipratropium which is in the same class. As a neb solution it lasts 6 hours and as an MDI it last 4 hours. Check your prescription for dosing on this medication. Advair is a combination medication used to treat COPD and asthma. It has two active components a cortocosteroid (antiinflamatory) AND an LABA (long acting beta2 agonist that lasts 12 hours). Beta2 agonists are the broncho-dilaters.

If this does not work then my doctor is going to do a spirometry test for asthma since it has been bothering me for more than 2 months. Thanks for the info about the albuterol inhaler, my doc said to continue using it but I thought the steroids would pretty much be the cure all (wishful thinking I guess).

But since you had a asthma attack, and now are you breathing better after taking it, but whenever next time you paying a visit to your doctor, ask him whether double dosage is recommended for you or not,

at what dosage dose and length of time does prednisone cause brain damage and memory problems, thinking problems? thanks!

I was prescribed an inhaler about a week ago, and it doesn't seem to be helping with my breathing problems. It feels good and works for about a few seconds after using it then it doesn't make a difference at all. And the other day it actually made my symptoms A LOT worse (I could barley breath for the whole evening and felt pressure). Is there a reason for all of this or should I just switch brands?

The Foradil will last for a long time. It will save you a hospital bill on a bad day. The albuterol suflate is short-acting. The steroidal inhalers do NOT work immediately.

Albuterol is a bronchodilator used to treat many of the same issues as Flovent, but it can also be used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Albuterol comes in a syrup, tablet, or as a suspension in an inhaler. Albuterol works by causing the passages to the lung to relax and open, which makes breathing easier.

During that time he got an ear infection, now it has recovered, but during one of the doctors said he should start using albuterol for his cough if it contiues, that he had during his ear infection. His ear infection has gone away, but his cough hasn't! Should I use albuterol or some other medicine, or am I able to treat it without using any drugs. I also gave him claritin to see if it was caused by allergies but that did not work. Help would be appreciated! Thank you!

The doctor may decide that you now need a prescription for the steroid type of inhaler to use once or twice a day and the Albuterol as and when you need it. There are different types of steroid inhalers, but their job is about the same. So if the doctor prescribes you with one that is not helping, do get back to him to try you on a different one.

The albuterol I understand. Pulmacort is not short acting, so that I have trouble understanding. And as for giving O2 for someone at 96 per cent I don't understand at all. At higher altitudes 96 would be completely normal, and is only slightly below normal at sea level.

I was having a hard time breathing 2 nights ago and decided to try my daughters albuterol inhaler. I used 5 puffs over a 24 hour period. I dont know why but I assumed it was harmless to use while pregnant. Now im looking online and see its a class C! Im nervous I may have done harm to baby. Anyone else use albuterol while pregnant first trimester?

Just wondering if anyone here uses an albuterol inhaler and are they safe to use during pregnancy? I use one every now and then but not on a daily basis. I'm only 5 weeks along. I used mine tonight because I felt like I absolutely had to.

Albuterol is considered safe to use in pregnancy, and as your doc said, definitely gotta keep you breathing!

Hi. I Have Asthma && I Use An Albuterol Inhalation.And Everytime I Have An Asthma Attack I Use It And It Feels Like I Cant Catch My Breath..Whats Going On? Its Had Me In The Hospital Many Of Time ??

3 weeks ago my 16 year old daughter had a bad reaction to the fumes that her art supplies produced. She was treated for asthma in the ER and sent home with an albuterol inhaler and prednisone. Within a few days, she was hospitalized due to a severe reaction to the prednisone and albuterol. She will never be able to take any medication with a steroid. Since then, she has had exercise and cold induced attacks.

For those of you who have moderate to severe asthma and need help paying for your meds there is a foundation that can help. http://www.healthwellfoundation.

Thank you ALL for the replies :) I appreciate it ALOT. I wish I remembered that other one he was going to prescribe to me but I go back in a month to see how often I'm needing my albuterol. All I know is he said it's a steroid form I'd inhale once a day! I also heard from sum1 that there baby had a birth defect & she thinks it's cause of her inhaler she was taking thru out pregnancy but this was like 15yrs ago! I'm sure lots of things have changed.

Hello and hope you are doing well. Albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator, it eases symptoms by opening the airways during an asthma flare-up. It is a β-adrenergic agonist. Side effects are restlessness, irritability and nervousness. Ipratropium blocks the effect of acetylcholine on airways (bronchi) and nasal passages. This is used as an alternative to Albuterol if the side effects are severe with Albuterol.

By law - these meds are not required to have to put warnings on the boxes unless they are at a dosage that is regulated for the warning. So if there is a low dose of a particular drug that is not in the med at a level that requires warning - the drug company is not required to label that product with any warnings. Be careful.

I gave a lot of thought before posting again, because I am sure you are the greastest mom and would never want to endanger your children. This post IS NOT a criticism, or an attempt to make you feel badly. Albuterol is a "last ditch" emergency medication. When you reach for the albuterol you are "reaching for lung reserve". Once that albuterol is ingested, the lung has no more reserve.
