The 2 classes are 1) inhaled steroids and 2) orally administered medicines that block biochemical asthma pathways involved in asthma worsening, an example of which is Singulair® (montelukast sodium). A third group of asthma medicines commonly used are, medicines similar to Xopenex® Inhalation Solution (levalbuterol) but long acting for 8 to 12 hours. These medicines might or might not result in hyperactivity and should be the last to be considered, especially for a young child.
Good luck.
Hi, fast heart rate is due to Xopenex. Initially, use of this drug is associated with this side effect but over a period of time, tolerance usually develops. In case if you have a pre exisiting heart disease, please avoid this drug.
Consult you treating doctor to lower the dose or frequency, other alternative is sustained release deriphylline tablets.
All of them Xopenex is the only one that does not go by albuterol. No generics because of the cfc ban. We do have generic albuterol neb solution. The Xopenex doesn't cause the shakiness that the other versions do and can be more effective. I wonder if that is what part of my problem has been? hmmmmm... I am going to ask for a sample of Xopenex to try for odor exposures again.
Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma.
However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
Our data highlight the potential of direct innate immunity activation in hepatocytes in the control of HBV replication, and support the recent interest in the development of PRR-based antiviral strategies against HBV. In addition, our data suggest that elucidation of the mode of antiviral action of imiquimod may lead to the identification of a novel target for the treatment of CHB.

On Monday I took him to see his Asthma/Allergy doctor. He said that he must have gotten some sort of virus and it triggered his asthma. He told me to continue his Singulair, Pulmicort Respules one time a day, Xopenex in the nebulizer every four hours, and he prescribed Prednisone two times per day (dr. said to start the steroid only if the cough does not slow down).
So on Wednesday morning, my son woke up at 6:30am coughing non-stop....coughing so much that he vomited!
v never heard of this kind of reaction with an asthma attack, maybe someone else on the forum has experience with that. If his colour was good, then his attack probably wasn't severe. I think you're correct in that this is more likely a cardiovascular issue. I have a cousin who used to get seizures when she had extremely low blood sugar levels with her diabetes, so there are many causes for such a reaction. You probably should check it out with his doctor just to be safe.
Yes he's sure. Oral sex of any type is not a risk of contracting HIV.
t had any symptoms as of yet. I only had a bit of a scratch in my throat on the 24th and the 25th day after the encounter, but that could have been due to too much cold pop and ice cream.
Please give me your opinion as to how risky this encounter was. Should I be worried? He kept on telling me he was 'clean' and didn't have any diseases.
Thank you immensely much for your help! Any insight your might have would be invaluable!
My 2 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with viral-induced asthma a couple weeks ago. We've already cycled through action plans that included daily Singular, Nasonex, & Pulmicort. We've used Xopenex and Prednisone (steriod) too. Nothing (short of the steroid) worked. The doc thought he was having allergic reactions because he does have allergies to a couple grasses and one tree (skin test).
