I am 19 wks pregnant and suffer from terrible allergies this time of yr and have to use salbutamol 100micrograms inhaler. I use it up to 3 times a day. My midwife is uncertain if I can use this while pregnant and I have read up on possible effects to the baby and I am terrified. Has anyone used this while pregnant??

People do not become more dependent on inhaled steroids. However, increasing inflammation may make you feel the need to use an inhaled steroid more frequently to relieve your chest tightness. This usually means your disease state is getting worse and not due to using an inhaled steroid. The inhaled steroid would not make your symptoms worse unless you are allergic to an ingredient. Dependence on inhaled steroids does not exist.

The second level is prevention of the attacks. For this, there are steroidal inhalers for asthma. The steroid content is very minimal and long-term use will prevent attacks. For wheezing, during the attacks, you can use salbutamol inhaler. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

However, there are many other types of steroids and other drugs apart from salbutamol that can be tried. The medicines used can be asthalin, trebutaline, steroids, ipratropium bromide, and chromolyn sodium amongst a few options available. You will have to keep the house, bed linen etc dust free. Check for molds at home—under sink, bathroom, toilets, drains, damp wall, under carpets etc. Mold spores can make asthma worse.

salbutamol is albuterol --> just what they call it in Canada :) If you only have the salbutamol, you need a steroid inhaler for daily use. Get an appointment within the next day or two with your doctor or go see a walk-in clinic. An increase use of a rescue medication (more than 3 times a week), indicates a need for a stronger medicine for a little while. How you feel better soon!!

They include salmeterol (brand name Serevent) and formoterol (brand name Atimos). There are preventive inhalers. The type of drug commonly used in preventer inhalers is a steroid. Steroids work by reducing the inflammation in the airways. When the inflammation has gone, the airways are much less likely to become narrow and cause symptoms such as wheezing. Steroid inhalers are usually taken twice per day.

My FEV1 ranges from 720 to greater than 800 even when I’m not on medication and even when I’m experiencing the shortness of breath. If I discontinue the corticosteroid and only use salbutamol before physical activity there will be a progressive decline in my lung function through chronic inflammation and scarring? In other words is it really necessary for me to be on corticosteroids given my FEV1? Is Symbicort really the best medication for me?

The doc said it might be asthma and prescribed me with salbutamol. However, i found that I don't have the common syptoms as asthmatic people .e.g wheezing or coughing, and it doesn't disturb my sleeping as well. I just feel the bronchi contract and chest tightness which go away after few minutes later without taking the inhaler. I've taken the inhaler before but i found it no use, so i didn't use it anymore. I am wondering if i am really asthmatic or is just something else.

He was now treated with Azythromycin. and 4 hourly salbutamol nebulization,he is on budecort steroid 200mg twice daily since january 26, 2007.and asthanlin nebulization once a dayBut yesterday ,Feb 10,2007 again he developed dry cough. I am giving him asthalin nebulisation 4 hourly my question is 1. does mycoplasma pneumonia reccur again? 2. if yes then how come its at the same spot? 3. if its a persistent one what is the cure? 4. Can asthma cause a similar patch?

Oral steroids do have adverse side effects, but the significantly lower doses of steroids in ICS's and the fact that they go directly into the lungs where they are used keeps the steroids out of your system, and therefore they don't have side effects. Unfortunately there is no cure for asthma. The best we can do at the moment is control it with medications and trigger avoidance. Feel better.

Needless to say that I am not very active during this time. Due to the steroids, I gain weight during winter and weigh about 280lbs. As I have been monitoring my blood pressure, I've noticed that my pulse is always between 100-120 p/m. Is this sometning I should bring up to a DR. or what? I do live with a lot of stress and that probably contributes to the problem. Do you have any suggestions?

Understand your predicament. Flovent inhaler contains steroids and is given to prevent an attack of asthma. Ventolin inhalers contain the active ingredient salbutamol, which is a type of medicine known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist. This is given when a person actually has an attack of Asthma, and is referred to as an ‘escape inhaler’. It would be good to have it with you, handy to use it when you need it. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Hi I'm just recently diagnosed as asthmatic. I am in my 40s, high blood pressure & take dothiepin 150 mg for depression. I take salbutamol as an reliever, & am having to use it four or five times a day. My gp gave me beclamethasone two 100mcg sprays twice an day as preventer.

The type of drug commonly used in preventer inhalers is a steroid. Steroids work by reducing the inflammation in the airways. When the inflammation has gone, the airways are much less likely to become narrow and cause symptoms such as wheezing. Steroid inhalers are usually taken twice per day. If you have an exacerbation (flare-up) of your asthma symptoms, you may be advised to take the preventer inhaler more often. Please discuss these options with your doctor, he can guide you.

Hi, I'd see your doc for a look/see and PFT testing to see what's going on. You may need an albuterol and/or steroidal inhaler and the PFT tests will help determine what's going on. May be inflammation and night is when it rears its ugly head sometimes :( Keep us posted and WELCOME! Also --- croup can happen with a sharp change of temp. It's tricky so the PFT is extremely beneficial for your Dr.

Two weeks ago I ended a two week steroid boost ! At the end of it I wasn't wheezing anymore but somehow I could still feel the tightness. I'm taking 50/500 of seretide/ advair 2x a day plus montelukast and steroid nasal spray as maintenance. I don't know if I'm just feeling paranoid! But I feel like i'm still having mild attacks daily! I take salbutamol for it but it doesn't improve the symptoms! My peak flow is in the around 82% of my best. I wheeze only on forced exhalation.

My daughter is on a steroid inhalor twice a day and a relaxing inhalor twice a day. Last week she developed a persistant cough. 3 nights ago the cough has gotten worse, at night its like a barking, rather than a cough. I took her to the docs, and they sent her away. I then took her back and they gave a steroid tablet. Shes very warm, not eating much, and coughing every few minutes day and night. We are both shattered. What can I do now?

Venteze inhalers contain Salbutamol, which is another name for Albuterol. It is a bronchodilator. It is used to prevent or treat bronchospasm in patients with asthma. It has been used for a long time and is thought to be a safe drug. The most common side effects are tremors and pounding heart rate, both of which are temporary. It is normally given only as needed but some people still use it up to every 4 hours, preventatively.

He's been to the doctor's several times now. They prescribed him 5 days of Prednisone (steroids) and sent him for a chest x-ray, which came back normal. They also did blood and urine tests, again these came back normal. They then did a 12-lead ECG, which showed nothing abnormal. Now he's just finished a one week course of Amoxicillin 500mg, which has not helped much (possibly loosened the cough, making him cough up more yellow phlegm).

The admitted me overnight and send me home with oral steroids, changed my brown steroid inhaler to the purple Seretide one and gave me clarythromicin antibiotics. Since then I have felt very unwell, again generally run down, exhausted, lethargic, am very pale, clammy and keep having small attacks but I am able to control with extra puffs of my Salbutamol inhaler. I have been off work for two weeks and my doctor gave me a sick note to last another three.

Hi, You need to ask your chest physician for long term combination- steroid and bronchodilator inhaler medication or otherwise increase the dose of advair for a few days. That would decrease the use of rescue medication - salbutamol / levosalbutomol usually to some extent. Go ahead with regular steam inhalations and gargles. Get a lung function testing done. Dont worry about the spot and get a repeat PET scan in 6 months. Your chest physician will let you know if he wants one earlier than that.

I have to inhalers, fast reacting one and a steroid long term one. I dont want my asthma to get worse and i'm worried that if i take my inhalers it will make it worse. Because i dont see how taking drugs could make it better, when its like steroids and **** ive never even heard of.

I had a cold that led to bronchitis 4 weeks ago. After antibiotics, steroids and inhalers, I was still wheezing and short of breath. Tests were run that ruled out blod clot, pneumonia, and tumors. I was sent to an allergist because my doctor thought maybe I was developing asthma. The allergist said that my x-ray looked like a person with asthma or emphazyma (sp?). She did a few tests looking for evidence of asthma, but could not find evidence of asthma. That was a week ago.

You and he/she will have to resort to other preparations, to include a different inhaled steroid, such as Flovent® HFA Inhalation Aerosol (fluticasone propionate), either alone or in combination with a long-acting bronchodilator, like Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) or Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder), such a combination being either Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Aerosol or Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarat

Its affecting my every day movements and I find I need more salbutamol than usual. I went to my GP, and she gave me antibiotic which I had an allergic reation to, I was given anti-nausea, then went back. This other doctor said there isn't an infection and I didn't need antibiotics and gave me tramadol and said take them with paracetamol and she will arrange physio. I know this won't help, the pain killers help briefly then I find myself taking more. Can anyone please advise.
