I am 72 yrs. Take blood pressure/cholesterol/uric acid tablets. Also have asthma for which I take salbutamol spray and budecort spray three times daily. When asthma and lung congestion increase I take betamethasone 0.5mg tabs as tapering dose in sequence of 4tabs x 5 days, 3tabs x 5 days and finally 1tab x 5 days. The tapering dose is accompanied by cefixime 400 caps (suprax) once a day for 6days. The tapering dose and suprax caps are taken every once. My problem is that I get red rashes on my both hands and I have swelling on my feet. Since last six months or so I get knee pain and find difficulty in walking. Please can any doctor help me on my problems. Thank you.

Take foracort 400 mdi 2 puffs twice/day with zerostat spacer, asthalin inhalation only rarely, definitely not regularly. Avoid taking betamethasone which might be causing red spot and face swelling. Joint pain can be due to osteopenia. Take vit d and calcium regularly.

I am 57 years old, male asthmatic and diabetic. Two months back I had an acute excaberation of bronchial asthma, which was treated by antibiotics, bronchodilators, oral steroids and inhalers ie Asthalin and Budecort. I am free from all symptoms, but I am still on inhalers, especially Budecort inhaler. Should I continue using budecort inhaler, as I sometimes feel breathless especially while lying down or during strenuous activities? Is it safe? Also, I wish to inform you that I was a heavy smoker, say 20 years back. Now I have stopped, since 5 years, and the attacks are less frequent. Now, if I feel like having a smoke, I have only one per day. I am trying my best, even to stop it. I gave up the habit by sheer will power and also due to the fact that I am asthmatic. Should I continue using inhalers, especially Budecort inhaler and if so, is it safe, considering the fact that it is a corticosteroid? Please advice.

Yes. Inhaled corticosteroids have minimal effect on blood sugar levels, although theoretically that's possible. But using inhalers will keep your lung problem in control and further exacerbation may be prevented. If you were a confirmed asthmatic and continue to smoke, then your disease may change to copd, where the broncho-constriction is irreversible and the risk of exacerbation increases, so quitting is the best way for future.

Dear
World over the treatment for asthma is inhalers. Also if. Your asthma has been controlled well for 20 yrs with stable lung function, you must continue inhalers. However it is advisable to seek a chest physician opinion with latest spirometry. You can contact me in private clinic.

Dr. Mool Chand Gupta

Duolin is a reliver drug and should not be taken daily. Budecort 200 is very less dose and need addition of laba for good effect. Better get stepped up dose for asthma after consulting a resp. Phy. Get echo done to r/o col pulmonale which may be a cause for oedema. Nebicard though a selective drug and said to be not aggevating asthma, but better to avoid it or reduce its dose.

I am 57 years old, male, asthmatic and diabetic. Two months back, I had an acute excaberation of bronchial Asthma for which I took treatment by antibiotics, bronchodilators, cough syrup and oral steroids, along with Asthalin and Budecort inhalers. Now, I am perfectly alright ie no wheezing and cough, but there is breathlessness. I feel breathless if I walk long distances, do strenuous activities, lie supine on the bed, even though, it is less while sleeping on the right or left side. There is weakness and tiredness also, vowing to the fact that this time summer has set in a bit early in Bangalore, where I am living. I am still using inhalers to prevent further attacks. Should I continue them? Is weakness, the aftermath of the antibiotics taken previously? Please advice.

U should continue with budecort inhaler. But take levolin inhaler on sos basis i. E as and when required. Take calcium and vit d supplementation as during exacerbation muscles are overworked. Also vit d deficiency is very common these days. Take protein supplementation also in form of sprouts. Good luck.

I am 57 years old, male, with mixed depression-anxiety and Schizophrenia. For depression-anxiety, I am told to take Venlaxaine 150 mg 1-0-0, Imipramine 25 mg 1-0-0 and mirtazapine 15 mg 0-0-1. There is a lot of relief. For Schizophrenia, I am on Amisulpride 200 mg 0-0-1 and Respidon 1 mg 0-0-1. There is relief. The problem now is excessive sweating even in this chill weather in Bangalore. There is no chest pain or chest heaviness and BP is normal (120/80). There is no weakness also. Is this problem due to the drugs, I am taking or due to something else (heart problem)? Also, I am asthmatic and diabetic. My asthma is under control by Serobid and Budecort inhalers. I am on glyciphage 500 mg 1-0-1 for diabetes. What would be likely problem. Please advice.

It's tough to say whether it's due to drugs, but you better stop imipramine and see for two to four weeks, let me know if this helps.

My mother is a copd patient since five days she is have irritation in the throat and cough. She is taking flohale and foratec respules regularly and since five days she is taking budecort and duonil respules. But irritation is still there.

Dr. Mool Chand Gupta

MD - Pulmonary, DTCD

Pulmonologist•Faridabad

Flohale and budecort respule should not be taken together as they serve same purpose. Try allegra 120 mf once a day with saline gargles. Add ceftum 500 1 tab twice/day if fever. Better consult a resp. Phy.
