Doctors mentioned it today to see if it will help with his brittle asthma. Ds is only 3.10 and all the info I can finds deals with older children.
We go back in two weeks when this latest flare up has settled.

as a adult , I am on the highest doesage at the moment, and its finally helping.

It has had some good reports for controlling this sort of asthma.
from what I understand its a mix of steriods and ventolin, and is more effective for some when given this way.
