When should my child use Ventoline or Airomir? • If your child has asthma or asthmatic bronchitis. • If your child has difficulties breathing and is wheezing or coughing a lot. When your child is well again, treatment can be stopped. There is no need for tapering off. If you child later needs Ventoline or Airomir, you can start the treatment again. It should work after only a few minutes. Which dosage of Ventoline or Airomir should I use? • 1-2 blows should be given a few minutes apart. • If this does not show an effect after 4 minutes, another 1-2 blows should be given. • If the effect on the child is limited, treatment can be continued by giving 4 blows every 20 minutes until 16 blows have been given in 1 hour (this may only be done once in 24 hours). • If there is no effect or if the child gets worse, the child must see a doctor immediately. • If there is an effect, treatment can be continued by giving 2-4 blows every 2-4 hours. 2
