My friend was prescribed by his pediatrician Combivent inhaler for the use of a bronchial infection for his four year old son (with the use of antibiotics as nicely). From what I know its utilised to treat patients with COPD. Is this a very good medicine to give a 4 year old?

Yes, it is fine to give to a 4 year outdated, but should be supervised by an adult. Use as the physician instructed.

There is only a single normal dose of Combivent® (ipratropium and albuterol inhaler), irrespective of your weight, age, or other health-related circumstances.
