Is Using Seroflow Inhaler 250 Mg Safe For 5 Year Old?

Hi my daughter is 5 years old. She seems to be having allergic asthma symptoms very similar to what I have. I live in china and visiting a doctor is a trouble. I have a seroflow inhaler 250 mg. is it safe to give a puff to my daughter when ever she gets the symptom?

Hi. I had gone through your query. From your question I presume that your daughter is having only mild intermittent disease. Seroflo is a maintanance drug to be used daily in those who get frequent attacks. That too for a 5 year old I would start at a lower dose 50 or 125 mcg.250 is rarely required. For those who get less frequent symptoms you could use salbutamol inhaler (ventolin, asthavent etc.) whenever required. If you find child needs to use salbutamol inhaler frequently, then you need to start maintanance treatment like seroflo inhaler. Better consult your pediatrician at least once to assess severity of asthma.

Hope I have answered your question. thanks for using HCM.
