Suggest Treatment For Frequent Coughing When Suffering From Asthma
Question: Hi, My mother 45yrs age, suffering from asthma last 5yrs, currently using Sulbutamol & Budesonide inhalers still frequent coughing is there from 2 weeks, suggest pls using alternate inhaler like Formonide200 will help?
Brief Answer:
better to consult pulmonologist first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
By your history and symptoms, I think your mother is having exacerbation (worsening) of asthma.
And the most common cause for this is viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
She needs PFT (pulmonary function test) to know the severity of asthma at present.
She may also need chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Salbutamol is short acting beta 2agonist (SABA). Its action lasts for only 2-3 hours. So better to replace this by formonide. It is having formeterol. It is long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) and its action lasts for 10-12 hours. So better control is achieved.
Since all these are prescribed medicines, better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother.
Thanks.

Thanks a Lot, 2ys back she used Formonide200 based on specialized Dr advice& Good relief found but that time Sugar problem not there... Now She is having sugar problem, currently taking tablets & it is under control... So my doubt is still is it safe to use Fomonide200 or not?
Brief Answer:
yes, she can take formonide 200.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
Yes, she can definitely take formonide 200.
It is having formeterol and budesonide. Both are long acting and gives relief for 10-12 hours, so better protection can be achieved.
If you are giving formonide than no need to give budesonide separately.
Hope I have solved your problem.
