I'm using Rotacap Formoterol Fumarate and Fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation, specifically Formoflo 250. I wasnt very regular with my Rotacap Budecort 100. But now that I've started with Formoflo 250, it feels like I'm getting more consistent with taking my meds. Do you think this change is beneficial or should I be aware of anything else?

View allIs there a way to clean out the tar from your lungs if you've been smoking? And if there is, how much would that cost? I've heard of someone getting it done, and I'm really curious if it's actually possible.
Removing tar from smoker lungs is a challenging process, but it's possible to reduce the damage and promote lung health. Unfortunately, there's no magic procedure to completely remove tar, but quitting smoking is the first step towards healing. Your lungs have an incredible ability to repair themselves, and the healing process begins immediately after quitting smoking. Within 48 hours, carbon monoxide levels drop, and oxygen levels increase. The cilia in your lungs start to regrow within a week, and lung function improves within a month. To support your lung health, consider incorporating lung-cleansing foods, drinks, and supplements into your routine. These may include: - Lung-Cleansing Foods: Dark leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, garlic, onions, ginger, and turmeric. - Lung Detox Drinks: Teas made from ginger, basil, and echinacea.

I'm wondering when during the day I should be checking my blood oxygen levels. I've got an oximeter at home, but I'm not sure how often or what times are best to use it. Could you give me some guidance on this?
-Hi, it's generally recommended to check blood oxygen levels 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. You can also check if you feel short of breath or dizzy, or if you're monitoring a specific health condition.
