Pulmicort & Albuterol given together?

[stefani]

DS was just prescribed Pulmicort, in addition to Albuterol that he was prescribed when he was 5 months old (he had RSV then). DH thinks that the doctor said they can be mixed together, but the pharmacist I talked with said No, give the Albuterol, and then the Pulmicort. DS will sit still for a while, but not necessarily the whole treatment of Albuterol, and the thought of having to do it 4 times a day makes me cringe! We have watched Baby Mozart often enough that he knows when the dragon says "Blah!" and he would say it just before the dragon does! I don't know about watching TV 4 times a day....

I know some of you have had both Albuterol and Pulmicort, did you administer them together (+ Broncho Saline of course for the Albuterol) or did you do them separately?

Thanks!
