Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 inhaler, containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone (a steroid), may lead to potential side effects, including oral thrush, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis, and cataracts; however, the benefits of controlling asthma symptoms often outweigh the risks

Question 3

My mom has been using the Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice a day for the last ten years. Today, she accidentally took the Tiova inhaler two times. Should she take the Foracort now or skip it for today?

Accepted Answer

If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.

Question 4

It's been over two months now, and I've been having trouble breathing whenever I laugh or talk. I often feel out of breath. Ive already had an X-ray and a cardiac check, and both came back normal. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a form of anxiety or stress-related breathing difficulty, especially since both your X-ray and cardiac check are normal. It could also be related to muscle tension in the chest or diaphragm. I recommend consulting a respiratory specialist or considering breathing exercises to help manage this.

Question 5

Ive been dealing with a dry cough for a while now, and its really irritating. Can you suggest any medicine I can use with a nebulizer to help with it?

Accepted Answer

consult a pulmonologist for a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray at the earliest.

Question 6
