My daughter has spasmodic croup and was prescribed Pulmicort Turbuhaler. About a week or two later my husband and i noticed some changes in her behavior. She was really whiny and started crying alot. She was alot more tired. She ate less and got dizzy. I called the dr. and he said it was not from that.
A few weeks later, her cough got worse and they actually DOUBLED her dose to 2 puff twice a day. Almost immediately she got REALLY bad! she got so dizzy looking at the computer, tv, riding on the bus, etc., that she had to lay down. She got queesy alot. She got diarhhea. I stopped the med and within days the symptoms stopped. It has since been a month and today was her dr. app't to check on this. Again, I was told this could not be from pulmicort.
This is my last resort to find out some other info. does ANYONE has any similar experiences?

I HAVE THE ANSWER:
THE INHALER IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR CHILDREN 6 YEARS AND OLDER. SHE IS TOO YOUNG. THE DR. DIDN'T FACTOR HER AGE IN. THE REASON SHE'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IS BECAUSE IT'S TOO STRONG FOR HER YOUNG AGE. IT'S HAVING A VERY STRONG EFFECT ON HER, AND IT ISN'T SAFE.
YOU WERE A TRRIFFIC PARENT WHEN YOU STOPPED THIS MEDICATON FOR HER. TELL YOUR DR. OR ANOTHER DR. WHAT I SAID, AND SWITCH MEDICATIONS IMMEDIATLY!

There does not appear to be any significant evidence of the symptoms that you describe. This is not to say that this medication has no part in her symptoms.
I add a link to a report on side effects for this medication. Whilst there, you will discover other internal links that you may wish to follow.
