Question 1

I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I'm taking Dytor 40mg a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Should I be concerned or is there something else I need to do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Question 2

Ive been prescribed AB Phylline N tablet for excessive phlegm, but I can only find AB Phylline SR tablets in my area. Can I use the SR version instead of the N one? Is it safe, or should I wait until I find the exact one prescribed?

Accepted Answer

It's best to follow your doctor's prescription, as there may be specific reasons for recommending AB Phylline N. However, if AB Phylline SR is the only option available, I would advise consulting your doctor or pharmacist before switching to ensure it's suitable for your condition.

Question 3

My doctor prescribed Cepodem XP 325 for my cough, but Im still dealing with a really bad cough with white phlegm. Is it okay if I add Pulmoclear along with the Cepodem to help with the cough? Would that be safe, or should I stick to just the Cepodem?

Accepted Answer

It's best to consult your doctor before adding Pulmoclear with Cepodem XP 325, as combining medications may need careful consideration. If your cough persists, a follow-up with your doctor might help to adjust your treatment plan.

Question 4

Is it safe to take Montek LC for a long period? Ive been using it for a while and am concerned if it could have any negative effects on my kidneys, liver, or any other part of my body. Should I be worried about long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) is generally considered safe, but may increase the risk of liver enzyme elevation, kidney damage, and other adverse effects, such as increased blood pressure, fatigue, and mood changes; regular monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as periodic check-ups with your doctor, can help minimize potential risks and ensure safe long-term use.

Question 6

I had TB about 30 years ago and completed the 9-month treatment. Since then, Ive been healthy with no issues. However, during a medical test in Dubai in 2016, I was deported because of an old scar on my chest, even though my blood test, skin test, an...

It's great to hear that you're healthy and have no current issues. Unfortunately, there is no medicine to remove or "clean" an old TB scar on an X-ray. However, the scar doesn't necessarily affect your health. You may want to consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to explore options for presenting your case in a way that addresses the medical concerns.
