Do Inhalers Provide Permanent Cure?
Hello Doctor, I m 24 years old male, having frequent wheezing attacks and sometimes severe if not treated at the early stages. I have been using Ascoril cough syrup for the past few years, which doesn t help to relieve most of the attacks. Also, i was afraid i could get addicted to puffs/inhalers so never had them. I was given with one of the three (budecort, Duolin & Asthalin respules) or sometimes a combination of two (budecort & Duolin) to relieve the breathe trouble. There were times i had taken medicine through vein injection as well. Per my observation, the causes were due to change in temparature, improper resting position when asleep. I have often experienced block when i try to do even a very little amount of work after food. Does this mean, i should eat less or shoudn t engage in any activities after food? As this has become frequent and doesn t seem to stop, is it okay to use an inhaler for permanent cure?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.I have gone through your query.It is better to use inhaled drugs like duolin or asthalin which is a sympathomimetic and budecort which is a corticosteroid.Inhaled drugs will have very less systemic effects.The dose and frequency should be adjusted by your treating doctor.You will get a good remission with it.Then the dose can be titrated to low or can stop.You should recognise and avoid allergic causing agents also.But if you are not able to do so then an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist can be continued.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
