To get rid of such medicine to some extent you need to talk and get insights into getting advise of inclusion of ayurvedic herbals for immunoenhancing and respiratory tract management from allergens and infect ants. Yes, these naturals are not tasty, not attractive but have a great potential to ease your life in a gradual way. I do not criticize allopathy. That's also life saving and scientific but then there is limit of effects. Pl book phone call on Lybrate or chat for further guidance.

Both are long acting ics-laba combination drugs. The only difference being that salmeterol (seroflo) acts a little slower than formoterol (maxiflo).
Side effects range from hypersensitivity, altered taste, oral candidiasis, tachycardia to pneumonias.

Some patients with copd have increased mucus production. This is because they have more goblet cells than people without copd. They may also have oversized mucus glands in their airways. This overproduction results in a chronic cough.

Dear Lybrate user, copd patients usually have a lower spo2 level compared to normal people.
Your patient may require adjustment / change of inhaled medicines to increase lung capacity and spo2 levels.
Kindly get following tests-
1. Chest x ray pa view
2. Pft test
and consult a pulmonologist for further advice.
Wishing speedy recovery.

If you have the option to go to nearby hospital, pl get it checked. If not, you may ask for ayurvedic remedy. It may or may not be the way you think. Do not fear. Try to meet specialist near you. Or consult.
