Long acting bronchodilator helps to control asthma for 12 hrs with each puff so better to take formoterol budesonide twice a day followed by gargles.

If you're child has asthma don't deprive him of any respules or mdi pump infact he/ she should be given duolin respules twice or thrice a day with budecort respules twice a day once chest is better can shift to mdi / pump formoflo / budamate child one with lesser dose with spacer can be started.

I am a 26 year old man, I was prescribed clonafit plus tablet for 10 days, three years ago. But I did not know that I had to stop. I have been taking that ever since, once before hitting the bed every night. I have a medical history of asthma and hypothyroidism. I want to taper it down, and eventually stop. Please guide me through with your expertise. Thank you in advance.

Dear lybrate-user, clonazepam is habit forming and over time it starts to lose its efficacy. Meaning, in the beginning, a 0.25 mg dose would put you to sleep, over a period of time, you will find difficulty sleeping at same dose. Now that you have completed 3 years with clonazepam, I would suggest you to try to find an alternative before stopping it. There are several herbal medicines available that help in sleep management. You may consult me for that. As for clonazepam + escitalopram combination. Escitalopram is an ssri, a weak antidepressant. There are better antidepressants available for sleep than that. Good thing is that you are only 26, you can bounce back, since you didn’t mention your bodyweight, I am assuming you are on higher side coz of hypothyroidism. One thing that helps in sleep is adequate skin exposure to sunlight as well practicing diaphragmatic breathing. You should also workout and try to minimise any type of stress. I wish you all the best for your recovery.

Hello lybrate-user! salbair and asthalin have similar action and both are used as needed in bronchial asthma. While asthalin contains salbutamol, salbair contains levosalbutamol. Levosalbutamol is a isomer of salbutamol with comparatively lesser side effect potential. Recent international guidelines don't support the preferred use of either salbutamol or levosalbutamol for asthma. Ideally a inhaled corticosteroid with a long acting bronchodilator combination should be used as and when required.

You can't stop inhalers for adult or child if they have breathlessness asthma allergy etc. Do absolute eosinophil count do total serum ige and inform then continue nebulisers and mdi inhaler any doctor who says your child just has allergy or just bronchitis is doing a crime of not recognising your child's problems and diagnosis as asthma treat with mdi and continue for at least 5 years. Sometimes childhood asthma withers / goes away by 12 years of age and may come back in 40's.

You must introduce our herbal breathe care kit besides your usual med. Once the effects come in few weeks, you ll withdraw drugs (your doctor will/ may withdraw) but herbs will continue. See betterment in few months. Pl talk by booking call so that category of asthma may be decided.
