Question 1

Last night I woke up around 3 AM suddenly gasping for air and had difficulty breathing. This is the first time its happened, and its still going on, although the symptoms seem to be getting a bit better. Can I take Deriphyllin for this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing sudden difficulty breathing, which could be due to several factors. While Deriphyllin can help with breathing issues, it's important to consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause and get a proper diagnosis. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Question 2

I've been having asthma attacks every morning when I wake up, and I was prescribed Doxofylline 200mg tablets. Can I take this medicine every day to help with my asthma? I'm just wondering if it's the right treatment for me.

Accepted Answer

Doxofylline 200mg is commonly used to help manage asthma symptoms by relaxing the airways. However, it's important to consult your doctor before starting it, especially if you're experiencing frequent asthma attacks. They can adjust the dosage or prescribe the right treatment for your condition.

Question 3

Hi, Ive been an asthmatic for 10 years and I usually wake up 2-3 times at night to use my Asthalin inhaler, and also 2-3 times during the day. But Ive noticed that when I take Montek LC during sudden climate changes at night, I dont need to use the i...

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

Question 4

I have bronchial asthma and Ive been prescribed Foracort 400 to take daily. Is there any problem or side effect with using this medication regularly? Please let me know.

Accepted Answer

Foracort 400 is generally safe for managing bronchial asthma if used as prescribed by your doctor. Long-term use may cause side effects like oral thrush, hoarseness, or mild systemic effects, so regular check-ups are essential. Always rinse your mouth after use to minimize side effects.

Accepted Answer

It's common to experience side effects like skin rashes and headaches during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, especially in the initial phase. The number of injections required can vary based on your individual response to treatment, but 60 injections might be sufficient if prescribed by your physician. It's important to follow up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns regarding side effects or treatment adjustments.

Accepted Answer

Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist
