What strength Seretide is your dc on?

[fingerscrosseditsnothing]

My dd just turned 6. She has been on Seretide for months now and it has helped a lot.

I was just giving it to her as prescribed but recently when I opened a new pack I read all the information and the one she is on is listed for older children.

We are seeing the paed in 2 weeks and I can't decide whether to wait til then or go to the GP.

The paed (as far as I remember) wrote to the GP to prescribe the Seretide when she wasn't well controlled on Becotide.

If she was already on Becotide would they have prescribed a stronger Seretide if the Becotide wasn't working?

I am worried but then I think surely between Paed, GP and pharmacist someone would have noticed it was wrong.

Ds1 is 7 and has seritide 125mg 2 puffs morning and night and has been on this over 3 years x x

Thanks alibobins. That is the one dd is on as well. I'll be discussing her treatment with the Paed soon anyway but this has put my mind at ease a bit til then.

Ds is five and is on the same 125mg 2 puffs am and pm.

DS1 is 5 and is on Seratide 125 ,but 1 puff am and pm. DS2, 3, has just started on Seratide 50. My GP always tells us never to read the leaflets!

DS1 has just turned 4 and for the last 9 months has been on Seretide 125, 2 puffs am and pm. A pharmacist took DH aside once saying she was worried as it is a massive dose for a 3 year old. I freaked out and phoned our consultant who calmed me down explaining it was better than the massive amounts of oral steroids every time he is ill.
