I took my 13 yr old to the dr for an asthma attack brought on by allergies/sinus infection. I couldn't get the asthma under control w/neb Albuterol liquid 0.08%. They gave him Alb/Atrovent combo in a neb and he got dizzy 1/2 way through and fell forward. He complained of a severe headache in back of head and couldn't focus. I took mouthpiece out of his mouth and tried to help him regain focus. Dr had us sit for about 10 min and gave him Tylenol. I had some Gatorade and a granola bar. Had him eat a bite and drink. Started out door and he was walking off center. Complained of dizziness on way home, in car. Still has bad headache and now stomach cramps, two hours later. Dr said he had allergic reaction. Dr said no main side effects were reported with this drug. Be cautious and aware if using, esp w/child.

The doctor was really hesitant about writing me a script for it, but after we went home and that night his asthma got worse, he gave me the script in the hospital. So far it has helped extremely well. There hasn't been any wheezing and he is doing great. I mix it with Albuterol twice a day just for that extra boost and re-assurance, then give it to him twice a day by itself. It is quite expensive, but worth it.

Atrovent was finally given to me for my 15 month old who has severe asthma. The Dr. was worried about the side effect of a mucoss plug forming in her air-way. I asked what's the diff if you give her a treatment then send us home 10mins later or give it to me and save me the er visit...She agreed and I think it works great.
