Duova 6Mcg/9Mcg Inhaler Health Feed

Asked for male, 49 years old from Kolkata

Hi, My mother aged 75 is a COPD patient. She is using Tioform 120 inhaler (2 puffs twice daily) for last couple of years as per Doctor's advice. She also uses Foracort 400 inhaler (2 puffs twice daily) along with Tioform 120 Inhaler. Usually she takes first Tioform and then Foracort. I want to know whether this is the right procedure or not. Presently she is suffering from rashes in her tongue for last couple of months. Food intake has been reduced exorbitantly as a result of these Serum Sodium as been reduced to 129 & Potassium is 3.6 now. She has become very weak and suffering from throat pain. Please advise me if there is any substitute of Tioform 120 inhaler to get her remedy.

Both are long acting ics-laba combination drugs. The only difference being that salmeterol (seroflo) acts a little slower than formoterol (maxiflo).
Side effects range from hypersensitivity, altered taste, oral candidiasis, tachycardia to pneumonias.

Hi. I understand your concerns. Asthma is chronic and a common problem causing symptoms. You will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of asthma based on which treatemnt can be started. Inhalers are the right treatment option without any side effects or addiction. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. As if left untreated it can be life threatening. Hope your questions were answered. Thanks.

Hi,
bronchitis/ asthma can be treated well with homoeopathic medicines completely, only need to be regular with the medication and avoid those foods/ things to which you are allergic to for sometime.
Keep taking your already on going medication, reduce it gradually and slowly once homoeopathic starts acting.
Take bakson's astha-aid drops/ 10-15 drops in 1/2 cup water/ thrice d day for 1 month.
Report me back after a month.
