I am a 64 year old female with a 45 year history of asthma,& bronchitis. I am 5'3 175 lbs. Currently taking theophylline,300 mg. BID, singulair 10mg qd.
Over the years I have been given Kenalog injections 40 mg. usually in the spring. I have gained weight and would like to take HCG drops. I went through menopause in 1994. Will HCG trigger Asthma. Is HCG safe for me.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, taking steroid more than enough in case of asthma is not advisable, but condition can be managed with bronco dilator alone weight gain could be due to steroid, HCG may not trigger asthma, hope this information helps, take care.
