Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 5 yr old DD2 is taking ventolin for her asthma and the medication is making her hyperactive and unable to sleep at night. She was awake until 3am this morning!! as an ex Glaxo employee there are other inhalers that have fewer side effects but are similar to ventolin - worth talking to doc - or better still talk to pharmacist first - they know MUCH more about drugs then go to doc armed with info also you will be able to reduce her intake of ventolin if she is taking sufficient inhaled steriods ( eg Becotide) steroid sounds v scary but the dose per puff isd miniscule - the whole cannister contains less steroid than a single tablet HTH Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
