Medrol is a steroid, which is used for a short course during exacerbation of bronchial asthma or copd. It must not be given on daily basis. Self medication wth steroids is dangerous because of potential side effects. Always consult a pulmonologist...

Sir
my mother aged about 70 years, is under medication for copd from 2003. From last one year, she is on oxygen (around 2 liters/minute) and intermittent bipap support. Now, though we are maintaining her spo2 around 85-90, she is still feeling difficulty in breathing. Cough or sputum symptoms are not observed. But she is feeling comfortable, if we are giving medrol tablets (methyl prednisolone) 8 m.g at least for 3 to 5 days in addition to regular inhalers foracort and tiomate. Now my query is
(i) can medrol be given daily? What's the safe dose (like 4 mg or 8 mg, which can be given daily? If not
(ii) with how many days gap, again the medicine medrol can given? Pls do the needful. Thanks in advance.

Living with COPD

You should use it for few more weeks. Get yourself evaluated for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis and also possibility of asthma.

Sir/mam
I suffer from seasonal allergy and asthma. Every year when summer comes I suffer shortness of breath, cough and allergic rhinitis. I have been taking monticope a from last one month and i'm not having any breathing problems. But I suffer from allergic rhinitis. Can I continue this medicine for few more weeks or is it bad to take it regularly for 2 months?

Living with Asthma

Safe to use. Go ahead with the combination!

I have a history of bronchial allergy and yesterday I had a mild attach of breathlessness. The doctor has recommended maxiflo inhaler, along with sompraz l capsule and odimont tablet. I hope there are no side effects of taking this combination, considering the situation.
