The two most common albuterol preparations used for nebulization are: (1) Ventolin (albuterol) respirator solution (Glaxo Canada Inc; Montreal, Canada) of which 2.5 mg (0.5 mL) is diluted with 2 mL of normal saline solution, and (2) the preservative-free, prediluted Ventolin (albuterol) Nebules PF (Glaxo) (2.5 mg/2.5 mL). The two preparations were compared using both a Hudson 1720 "T" up-draft ...

Purpose: To evaluate the erosive effect of pediatric liquid medicinal syrups on primary and permanent enamel. Materials methods: Eighty teeth were equally divided into eight subgroups (n=10), according to immersion solutions: Depakine, Ventolin, Sansovit, Artificial saliva. The cycles drugs conducted under a 1-min agitation three times daily for 28 days. Enamel microhardness measurements taken ...

Introduction Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a β2-sympathicomimetic drug, which was granted a marketing authorization in 1973. It is indicated for the treatment of reversible airway obstruction in bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema [1]. Both child and adult asthmatics use this inhalation medication, the difference lies in the dosage and vehicle of delivery. Dental caries as an ADR of s...

Background. The chronic recommendation of pediatric drugs could exhibit erosive and cariogenic problems. Objective. To evaluate the effects of different pediatric drugs on the color stability of various restorative materials. Methods. Five specimens (1 mm × 3 mm) were prepared and immersed in ten different pediatric drugs and agitated every 8 hours daily for 2 min up to 1 week. Between immersio...

I n t e r v e n t i o n 36 children were allocated to a single dose of oral dexamethasone, 1 mg/kg, and 34 were allocated to placebo. At 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes, all children received albuterol (Ventolin 5% solution, GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA) via nebulizer, 2.5 mg per dose (0.5 mL) in 3 mL normal saline and oxygen flow 6 to 7 L/min. After a 4-hour observation period, ...

Dose delivery (total emitted dose, or TED) from dry powder inhalers (DPIs), pulmonary deposition, and the biological effects depend on drug formulation and device and patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to measure, in vitro, the relationship between parameters of inhalation profiles recorded from patients, the TED and fine particle mass (FPM) of Diskus and Turbuhaler inhalers. In...
