Can Ventolin and Flixotide be used interchangeably?
Hello! The doctor prescribed her son 3 times a day Ventolin 0.1 and 2 x a day Flixotide 0.5. I did alternately while on the list I have written 1 in a circle with Ventola and Flixotide 2. I wonder if it should not be 3 times in a row Ventolin, of course, intermittently and then Flixotide. If I did on the alternating, could I harm?

The usual recommended dosage of Ventolin and Flixetide is to first administer Ventolin to dilate the bronchi, making inhalation with a steroid preparation more effective in the second step, in this case Fixotide. Preparations should be administered in approx. 15-30 minutes interval. The alternating use is correct, I suspect that the doctor marking in circles 1 and 2 meant the order of administration of drugs.
