Question 1

I'm Jack, 28 years old, and I've been using Seroflo 250mg daily for the past 15 years. Could this cause impotence or any other serious side effects? If so, could you please specify what they might be?

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol and Fluticasone) for 15 years may increase the risk of systemic side effects, including adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and cataracts, but impotency is not a commonly reported side effect

Question 2

Ive been experiencing a lot of coughing lately, and my throat is hurting. What kind of medicine should I use in a nebulizer to help with this?

Accepted Answer

For throat pain and severe coughing, nebulization with levosalbutamol or budesonide (as advised by a doctor) can help reduce inflammation and ease breathing. Use warm salt water gargles for throat relief and stay hydrated. Consult a doctor for proper dosage.

Accepted Answer

Its possible that inhaling the spray paint fumes irritated your airways, causing shortness of breath and coughing. If your symptoms are improving, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid irritants. However, if you feel worsening shortness of breath, chest tightness, or persistent discomfort, its best to visit a hospital for evaluation.

Question 4

Ive been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings in both of my lungs. Im worried and would like to know what steps I should take next. What does this mean, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

Question 5

Is it okay if we use Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than prescribed? Also, should the nebulizer be used by breathing through the nose or mouth?

Accepted Answer

Taking Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than prescribed can lead to overuse, causing paradoxical bronchospasm, tremors, palpitations, and other systemic side effects; it's essential to adhere to the prescribed duration and consult your doctor if symptoms persist, and breathe in the nebulized medication through your mouth, with your lips sealed tightly around the mouthpiece.

Accepted Answer

It's possible that your mother is experiencing a side effect from Pulmoclear, as breathing difficulty and chest tightness can occur, though rarely. I recommend stopping the medication and contacting her physician immediately to discuss her symptoms and explore alternative treatments.
