A deal is a deal, jeph.....
I don't like to post this stuff (and it IS a PITA to find --- for a reason) because I worry what lurking children might do with the information to experiment with stuff. But you let the cat out of the bag so, I'll just preface this with "To anyone under 18 or looking for a high from nicotine, the amounts of nic in any of these medications are a fraction of an analog, can kill you before you ever feel 'high' and totally unhealthy + illegal to abuse. We're all addicts here with the only option available to live healthier lives. If you feel peer pressure to try what amounts to a lot of junk - literally to the body it's garbage unless you are diagnosed as medically needing it - if you feel peer pressure, you should trust the experience of an adult and tell them you feel pressured. To any bully harrassing you, tell them you forgot something and remove yourself from the situation so you have the chance we didn't - to tell someone before making an adult decision without the skill to understand the consequences of that mistake."

sorry guys, I worry....
Now, jeph....
If you can get past the fact that the FDA is correct but not direct, you might believe the link and back-tracking through them that means having several windows open at a time. Anything can be questioned and debated to death. I haven't met anyone on ecf who agrees with anything the FDA says because of their attack on e-cigs though here's your answer. (SimpleSins, I doubt any of this effects your daughter and if you'd like, I can try to find what are sleeves - not boxes - that can put placed over a child's inhaler if your daughter is very young. They're supposed to make it easier for a child to learn to use them.)
Here's how to discover the names of medications used to treat breathing problems...
Start>>>>>(you'll need a few windows open at the same time to see this as related information/to get the gist of it)
Drug Interactions: What You Should Know
(scroll to nicotine replacements) - to the right you'll see a brief "your dose may need to be adjusted" related to asthma medications and anti-depressants. - not specific other than to suggest to be monitored by a physician. fine.
next....Health Professor - Diseases & Conditions - Bronchitis
mere info on bronchitis, treated with albuterol inhalors.
limited but crucial info to this thread/debate.
Next...(no one publishes this stuff as directly connected to nic because nic is scary to the public perception and to a large degree, the public is correct)....
How breathing disorders are treated or with what....
Antitussive Oral : Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing - WebMD
Here's the clinchers:
cough medicine and nicotine - Search results - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(scroll to legal intoxicants & Dextromethorphan)
+ scroll back up to 'antitussive' on the FDA link.
Therefore, one name for nictotine in oral asthma medication is Guaifenesin,(from webmd site) also found in cough medicine, aspirin, tylenol and other pain killers, including some cortisones.

Nicotine is also found in medications for Parkinson's disease and Altheimer's disease.(I don't know about the latter....I forgot...)

and finally
Nicotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
scroll to therapeutic uses last part of 3rd paragraph...." and atopic disorders such as allergic asthma.[62] A plausible mechanism of action in these cases may be nicotine acting as an anti-inflammatory agent...." (it then goes on to contradict that statement because it isn't published as anything other than a drug to help stop smoking, which from the base of the FDA, suggests it is used in medicine and can interfere with required medicines for certain serious health conditions.
Guaifenesin & DXM are two alternate names for extremely low level doses of nic combined with a majority of other meds to treat illness.
