Brief Answer:
PFTs, Use the gel short term separately.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for writing back.

1. You need to do a Lung Function test (Pulmonary Function Test/ Spirometry) to check whheter the current medication is working well.

2. Medication for anxiety and sleep disturbance requires a prescription form a local doctor.

3. The Sucrafil O Gel is fine for short term or occasional use. Use it at least two hours before or after any other medication. It can lower the absorption of many medications including theophyline.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.
