Use of salbutamol powder in childhood asthma.
In this study on 31 asthmatic children, salbutamol powder was as effective as salbutamol aerosol in the older asthmatic child studied daily during a 6-week period. The rotahaler can be used successfully from 3 years and, as measured by the peak expiratory flow rate, salbutamol powder is effective in this young age group.
