Inhaler 'can worsen asthma for children'
(The Scotsman 07/10/2009)
Researchers claim daily use of salbutamol may fail to prevent asthma attacks in children who have a genetic mutation. More than 100,000 youngsters have a double copy of a gene that makes them more than 30 per cent more likely to suffer asthma attacks if they take salbutamol daily, compared with those without the gene. Even those with a single copy of the gene - some 350,000 to 400,000 British children - have an increased risk of asthma attacks if they use the inhaler.
