[Inhalation therapy in children with asthma].

Abstract

Inhalation therapy for childhood asthma is safe and effective. It has the advantages of a low dose, a rapid effect and a wide therapeutic range. For the majority of children the available medications make it possible now to treat asthma optimally, provided that special care is taken to select the appropriate inhalation devices, and repeated practical instructions are given.
