Abstract
We compared the bronchodilator response of terbutaline delivered either by a dry powder inhaler, the Turbuhaler, or by a metered-dose inhaler attached to a Nebuhaler inhaler in 10 children with stable asthma who were 3 to 6 years of age. The bronchodilator response did not differ between the two inhalational devices. The dry powder inhaler Turbuhaler is a suitable alternative to a metered-dose inhaler in the delivery of terbutaline to preschool children with stable asthma if adequate inhalational technique is used.
