Salbutamol EasyHaler Inhaler - 100mcg/200 Doses Reviews
Can children use a salbutamol inhaler?
Children of all ages can use a salbutamol inhaler, although changes may need to be made to doses taken by young children and babies.
Children may find it difficult to use a Ventolin inhaler, so your doctor may suggest using a spacer to help them get the dose that they need.
What different types of inhalers are available?
There are three different types of inhalers, reliever inhalers, preventer inhalers, and combination inhalers.
- Reliever inhalers - These are your blue inhalers and they’re given to people with asthma or COPD to relieve symptoms. They’re usually used a few times a week, depending on what your doctor recommends.
- Preventer inhalers - These are your brown inhalers and they’re given to people who need to use reliever inhalers often. They help to reduce inflammation and sensitivity in your airways by using a steroid and are used every day to help reduce your symptoms.
- Combination inhalers - These are given to people who find that the combination of reliever and preventer inhalers isn’t enough to control their asthma symptoms. They can be different colours, depending on the inhaler you need. They’re used every day to prevent your symptoms and can be used again if you get symptoms during the day.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a respiratory condition which can make it more difficult for you to breathe in some situations.
When you have asthma you can experience symptoms like wheezing, breathlessness, tightness in your chest, or coughing, which can be called an asthma attack.
Asthma attacks can happen if you come into contact with a trigger, like something you’re allergic to, the cold, or smoky or polluted air.
You can also trigger asthma when you exercise or if you catch a cold or the flu.
People who have asthma often use inhalers to treat and prevent their symptoms, depending on how your asthma affects your life you may also need to take tablets.
Asthma can develop in children or adults, so if you think you’re experiencing symptoms of asthma you should speak to a doctor so they can give you a proper check-up and prescribe an appropriate treatment if you need it.
