Berodual is a medicine available only with a prescription and it is he who determines the dosage to the individual requirements of the patient (he decides on the frequency of use depending on the disease with which the child is struggling). During treatment, the patient should be under the supervision of a doctor. 20 drops = 1 ml (corresponding to 0.25 mg ipratropium bromide monohydrate and 0.5 mg fenoterol hydrobromide). You described that you usually give 20 drops to a 5-year-old. What does "usually" mean? In what indication/disease is the drug administered? What dosage was on the prescription issued by the doctor? According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, the amount of information on the age group - under 6 years is limited. "In children who are under 6 years of age and their body weight is less than 22 kg - Use a dose of 25 micrograms of ipratropium bromide and 50 micrograms of fenoterol hydrobromide per kilogram of body weight, but not more than 0.5 ml of the preparation 3 times a day." The dosage recommended above should only be used under medical supervision. If you do not know what frequency of inhalation the doctor recommended, you should contact him - just call us to register. The dosage of the e-prescription can also be checked using the Online Patient Account.
