Pulmonary function tests (pfts) are a group of tests that measure how well your lungs work. This includes how well you’re able to breathe and how effective your lungs are able to bring oxygen to the rest of your body. Doctors may order these tests if you’re having symptoms of lung problems.
You should follow the instructions of your examiner before tests are performed.

Dear Lybrate user, there is no documented / reported case of liver toxicity with use of budesonide & formoterol (budamate) inhaled drugs.
Since you have observed a rising of liver enzymes, it would be advisable to contact your treating doctor and reduce the dose of your inhaler (because all medicines pass through liver and may cause further problem)
you also need to contact a dm gastroenterology and try to find reason for liver problem.
Wishing you good health.

Both are same, one take any one with which the patient is comfortable. Rtacaps need more force/lung power to inhale and if your inspiratory capacity is less then inhalar will be better.

Inhaled medicines are the best way to take treatment for asthma. If right doses are used and proper precautions are taken, these are very very safe.

Hi
As a suggestion I prefer not to use these inhalers. Cuz u r used to it , it's very difficult to get rid of it.Cuz u get best results using a inhaler INSTANTLY. so you will not make up your mind to find a permanent solution or you are not ready.

I don't know how long your son have to use. Cuz it's said by his immunity.

Improve his immunity power or health against allergy. That's the only solution.

I prefer to have left as nd fermented liquids for 1 month.
