Is Prolonged Use Of Cetzine Safe For Wheezing?
Hi,I am Potri 28 Years old and I am having allergic towards dust, which is causing me wheezing whenever I got exposed to dust. When I take cetzine (Glaxo smithkline) I am able to get releived from wheezing within hours. But I feeling to much of sleepiness after taking the tablet. And also I am taking this tablet atleast once in 2 weeks, please let me know can I proceed with this tablet as a solution for my wheezing problem ? Will this create any side effect in my health ? Is this a right way to take this tablet everytime I get wheezing ? Will I get any health problem at the age of 40 or more because of taking cetzine continously ? Please suggest.

HELLO AND WELCOME, THOUGH THERE ARENT ANY LONG TERM SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS, THE SOMNULENCE AND DECREASED FUNCTIONING OF CNS EG DROWZY DIZZY SPELLS CAN DECREASE ALERTNESS LEVELS.
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE IS TAB MONTELUKAST 10 MG AT NIGHT ONE TAB FOR 2 MONTHS, WITH ONLY EXACERBATIONS BEING DEALT BY ANTIHISTAMINES. U MAY DISCUSS THE NEED FOR BUDESONIDE AN INHALED CORTICOSTEROID N HAVE AN ASTHMA WORKUP DONE. BEST OF LUCK. THANX
