I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
Yes, Xanilax SR 200 is a suitable substitute for Theoasthalin SR in the treatment of Asthma. Xanilax SR 200 contains Theophylline which helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. As for the cost, Xanilax SR 200 may be slightly more expensive than Theoasthalin SR, but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription for optimal management of Asthma symptoms. The usual dosage of Xanilax SR 200 is 200mg once daily, but please follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage based on your mother's condition.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough and my asthma isn't getting any better. Do you think it's safe for me to take L hist mont along with amoxicillin 500? I'm worried about how these might interact.
If you have asthma and are experiencing a cough, it's important to ensure that your asthma is well-managed. **L-Hist-Mont** (a combination of antihistamine and montelukast) can help with allergic symptoms and asthma, while **amoxicillin** is used for bacterial infections. If your cough is due to an infection, the amoxicillin may be helpful, but its best to consult your doctor to confirm the cause and ensure the medications are appropriate for your condition.
