Question 1

I've been taking Rablet D and AB-Flo as prescribed by my pulmonologist for the last week, but they haven't provided much relief (though they've shown some effect). My chest report came back clear with no abnormalities. I have no cough, cold, or fever, but after about 3-4 minutes, I still find myself needing to take a deep breath. I then consulted a cardiologist friend who suggested it might be related to motility or stomach issues. He gave me a 5-day course of Ganaton Total, with one tablet before food. I started it today, and Ive finished my course of Rablet D and AB-Flo. The thing is, when I eat, I feel like food gets stuck between my chest and upper stomach, but theres no acidity. I can take deep breaths and even hold them for a few seconds. I also do yoga like Anulom Vilom and walk in the evenings. Will Ganaton Total help with this issue? Im also using steam at night. When breathing, I dont feel any chest or stomach pain. Could this be related to motility issues?

It sounds like your symptoms might be related to gastric motility or reflux issues, and Ganaton Total could help by improving stomach movement and relieving any discomfort from food getting "stuck." Since you're not experiencing pain and your chest report is clear, it's good that you're already doing yoga and walking. If the discomfort persists or worsens, further investigation into motility or digestive issues might be needed.

Question 2

Ive been taking Mondeslor tablet for my allergies and was wondering about its side effects. Also, is it safe to take other medicines along with it or should I avoid certain combinations?

Accepted Answer

Mondeslor (desloratadine) is generally well-tolerated for treating allergies, but common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, or headache. It is usually safe to take with other medications, but it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure no interactions with other prescriptions you're using.

Question 3

Hi doctor, my grandmother was prescribed Montek LC after developing a cough due to pleural effusion following cardiac surgery. She still has a mild cough and has been taking the medicine for the last 3 months. Could long-term use of this medicine cau...

Accepted Answer

Montek LC, which combines montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally safe for long-term use, but prolonged use can sometimes cause mild side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, or dizziness. It is not typically harsh on the kidneys, but it's important to monitor kidney function, especially in older adults, during extended use. Regular follow-ups with her doctor would be helpful.

Question 4

Whats the difference between Seroflo and Foracort inhalers? Im currently using a Foracort steroid-based inhaler, but Im thinking about switching to a Seroflo salmeterol-based inhaler. Are there any issues with making that change?

Accepted Answer

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Foracort (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both steroid-based inhalers, but they differ in their active ingredients, with Seroflo containing Salmeterol (a longer-acting bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (an inhaled corticosteroid), whereas Foracort contains Formoterol (a faster-acting bronchodilator) and Budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid); switching from Foracort to Seroflo may require medical supervision, as it may cause changes in asthma control, and your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or monitor you for potential side effects.

Question 5

Ive had a cold for the past five days and got a chest X-ray done. The report mentions 'mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in the bilateral lower zone.' Is this something serious? Could it be a sign of tuberculosis?

Accepted Answer

The mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in your chest X-ray typically indicate mild inflammation or irritation in the lungs, often seen with respiratory infections like the common cold. It is not a specific sign of tuberculosis. However, its best to follow up with your doctor for a complete evaluation and to rule out any other concerns.

Question 6

Ive been dealing with a cough and dust allergy, and since the lockdown, its been hard to see a doctor. I wanted to know if its safe for me to take Montek LC tablets until the 14th of April. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Montek LC is an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist, often used to treat allergies and asthma. While generally considered safe, taking Montek LC without consulting a doctor may not be advisable.If you have a pre-existing prescription for Montek LC, you can continue taking it as directed. However, if you're taking it without a prescription or for an extended period, you should be aware of potential side effects, such as:- Headache- Dizziness- Nausea- Diarrhea- Stomach pain
