I am 65 years old & have severe copd (bronchitis) since many years. I take salbair-i transhaler almost everyday, and budamate 400 inhaler only when feeling uncomfortable. Also I take olmesar 40 mg blood pressure medicines daily. Can I take the cavity covaxin vaccine or will it have any side effects with these medicines?

Hello, would suggest to keep salbair I as an sos inhaler when you feel uncomfortable. And take the budamate 400 (can reduce to 200 2.puffs twice a day followed by mouth care) everyday. Inhaled corticosteroids plus long acting formetrol is said to be better as controller therapy. You can take the vaccine. Bronchisits is not a.contraindication. But wait for half and hour so as to watch for any allergic reaction. Take your inhalers with you. Hope this was helpful.
