The breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite (ambroxol) along with Ursocol (ursodeoxycholic acid) may be due to the expectorant properties of Ambrolite, which can temporarily cause throat irritation or coughing

Question 3

Whats the difference between Deriphyllin and Deriphyllin M? My boyfriend is 25 and was prescribed Deriphyllin M, but he used to take just Deriphyllin before. Which one is safer and more effective?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

I recently had an apicolordotic view, and it showed a few fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, possibly due to Kochs etiology. Im concerned about what this means. Should I be worried, and what steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

The Apicolordotic view X-ray report suggests that you may have had tuberculosis (TB) in the past, as indicated by the presence of fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, which are likely scars from healed TB lesions, also known as Koch's lesions.

Question 6

I was recently diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma, and my doctor prescribed Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days, but I havent noticed any improvement yet. How long does it usually take to see results?

Accepted Answer

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
