Question 2

I'm really worried about my wheezing problem that I've had since I was a 6-month-old baby. My parents took me to various consultants trying to fix it, but nothing really worked. The last doctor I saw was Dr. Raju at Raju hospitals. He ran some tests and suggested I use Cipla Inhalers. So, I've been using CIPLA ROTOCAPS Seroflo 100 for almost 15 years now. I'm scared that if these inhalers are ever unavailable, I won't make it past a week. Recently, my wheezing got really bad because I've been traveling a lot and the cold weather doesn't help, even though I'm based in Chennai. I'm just wondering, should I keep using Seroflo 100 rotocaps or consider other medicines to finally get rid of this wheezing for good?

Accepted Answer

continue

Question 3

I've been dealing with some respiratory issues lately. A few months back, I couldn't get rid of a cough and found out I developed allergies to house dust mites. This progressed into allergic asthma, and the doctor put me on Seretide 250 for a month, which really helped. After finishing it, my asthma got better, but I started waking up with a morning cough. I recently caught the flu, which turned into acute bronchitis. I'm feeling better now after taking antibiotics. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to start another month of Seretide 250. Do you think it's okay?

Accepted Answer
