Hello. I have a question about inhalation. When to give ventolin to a child and when to give pulmicort ? Sometimes I just don't know how to distinguish a cough at which to give. Please explain.pozdrawiam

At the outset, it should be noted that the drugs you are asking about - Ventolin and Pulmicort are available only on prescription, so their combined use in therapy and dosage should be decided by the doctor. Pulmicort is an inhaled drug with anti-inflammatory effect containing a corticosteroid. It is used in regular, long-term treatment of bronchial asthma. The preparation reduces swelling and irritation of the lower respiratory tract, reduces the severity of symptoms and the incidence of exacerbations of bronchial asthma. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/65257/pulmicort-zawiesina/apteki Ventolin is an inhaled drug with bronchodilator and prevention of spastic bronchial states, facilitating the free flow of air in the respiratory tract. Ventolin is a so-called short-acting β2-mimetic, it is used in the ad hoc control of an asthma attack. They can also be used prophylactically, e.g. before physical exertion to prevent bronchospasm, which in an asthma patient may occur during exercise. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/82077/ventolin-aerozol/apteki The action and composition of individual drugs can be checked by clicking on the attached links on the gdziepolek.pl website, which also allows you to book them at the nearest pharmacy.
