[Inhaled antiasthmatics in children. How to choose?]
Abstract
An optimal combination of anti-asthmatic drugs and delivery devices produces the best short- and long-term control in asthmatic children. Various inhalation devices can be used: nebulizer, metered dose inhaler with or without spacer devices, dry powder inhaler. Their use will depend on age, asthma severity, acute or long-term treatment and the child's preference. Explanation and control of inhalation techniques are essential for a good compliance.
