Question 1

I have a lung problem and have also had surgery on my nose. I used to take Seretra 80mg for my asthma, but now my ENT doctor has prescribed Montek LC as an anti-allergy. Is it safe to take both Seretra 80mg and Montek LC together?

Accepted Answer

Only seretra is not enough for asthma. You will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.

Accepted Answer

Its important for your father to follow his doctors advice regarding the inhaler, as long-term use may help manage his respiratory condition. However, prolonged use of inhalers like Foracort can lead to side effects such as oral thrush, hoarseness, or potential impact on blood sugar. Its best to have his condition regularly reviewed by a healthcare professional to assess if continued use is necessary.

Question 4

Hi doctor, I was prescribed Duolin inhaler and Foracart 400. I know Foracart 400 is for daily use, but should Duolin be taken daily too, or only when there's an emergency or worsening of symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Duolin inhaler is typically used for emergency relief of acute symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath in conditions such as asthma or COPD. It is not meant for daily use. On the other hand, Foracart 400 is prescribed for daily use to help manage chronic respiratory conditions and prevent flare-ups. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage.
