Q: what is the best way to cure asthma?want to know other alternative herbal med for my kids asthma.?
my kid is 4yrs old and every month, he will be given antibiotics because he has colds eventually leads to cough and asthma. he has maintenance med, (salmeterol+fluticasone propionate, cetirizine) still he cough. I give him also nebulization (combivent). how can he be asthma free? are there herbal med? or natural asthma prevention? my kid is obese. at 4yrs old he is 29kg. and i find it hard to let him on diet because he cant understand what diet is.how can i let him reduce his weight?
A: don’t mess with asthma! Trying a bunch of natural nonsense drugs may get him into a life and death situation. Look at your house, see what is causing his problems, smoking, paint fumes, animal dander, dust etc. eliminate it from your environment and pray for him to outgrow it. a number of kids do. As for the weight, you caused it by overfeeding him, you have to take steps to help him eat healthy foods. Keep him away from jusk food, no soda, no cookies , no crackers….teach him to eat good food and he will lost the weight.
Q: Asthma nurse changing my medication? Is she allowed?
I live in the U.K. and have had chronic asthma for as long as I can remember (I am now 38). I have ALWAYS had salbutamol inhalers (usually ventolin). Anyway my docs surgery rings me every few months and asks that I make an appointment to see the asthma nurse, which I do. She asked me if I still use my becotide inhalers (steroidal 2 puffs morning and night) and I answered honestly that i didnt all the time because sometimes I forget. So she took it upon herself to change my medication and now i get seretide 125 which is ’salmeterol/fluticasone propionate’ (instead of salbutomol and becotide). I was told to take this 2 times in morn and 2 times at night. I CANNOT now get my salbutomol inhalers because the surgery says I have these new inhalers instead. BUT being chronic asthmatic I get tight chest throughout the day so I have to use the new seretide 125 inhalers more than 10 times a day (luckily they have same effect of stopping my breathlesness). I usually get 2 inhalers on repeat prescription (salbutomol has 200 metered doses *2) but the new inhalers have only 120 metered doses each so effectivelly the nurse has almost halved the amount of medication I get with each scrip. I ask for a repeat scrip when im on my last inhaler and now the surgery is saying im ordering my scrips too early and yesterday only prescribed me 1.
Thanks for reading and here come the questions;
Is the nurse allowed to change my medication?
Have I overdosed on my new medication?
Do you think the nurse or doctor has made an error?
I have made an appointment to see the doc (10am tomorrow) and what do u think the chances are that he will be honest and say hes made a mistake? These inhalers are very important as without them I WOULD die!!
Any answers from asthma nurses would be grately appreciated. Thank you.
A: There is a worrying collection of problems in your long question, I will try and give some simple, general answers.
Firstly if you GP gives his nurse the OK, she can change medication, ideally in line with protocols he has constructed, BUT he must sign the prescriptions and he retains overall responsibility for her actions.
Secondly, there is a move to put increasing numbers of symptomatic asthmatics on combi steroid/long acting beta 2 inhalers to improve control and compliance. ( I prefer Symbicort to Seretide.) There is also a licence for Symbicort, rather than Seretide to be used twice daily and if required if the patient is symptomatic. I am unhappy about this arrangement as it allows rather uncontrolled use of quite potent steroids. ( Particularly Fluticasone, which in high dose, has even been associated with death due to adrenal suppression!) Also there is no reason why a patient on a combi inhaler cannot also be on a reliever such as Ventolin/salbutamol as well.
Q: I am 62. Last January my Asthama/COPD culminated into Broncho-pneumonia and later pneumothorax.?
I had to be in the ICCU for a fortnight.Right now I take regularly Salmeterol & Fluticasone Propionate inhaler(Seroflo 250) twice a day and Montek plus in the evening. I have developed Dry Skin and itching problem in the lower leg which Montek LC used to relieve but Montek plus does not.Since one month I do not have breathing problem but the Doctor asks to take medicine regularly. Secondly I get exhausted easily after the ICCU episode. Please enlighten.
A: when i got asthma symptoms i went straight for Ayurvedic treatment and now cured.
Q: Mr. Usher takes the following regimen for his asthma?
Advair 250/50 1 puff bid. what should Mr. Usher do after taking his dose of Advair? how much fluticasone and salmeterol would Mr. Usher receive in 1 month? which 2 brand name drugs does Advair Diskus replace?
A: After taking his dose of Advair, he should be sure to rinse his mouth out, as Advair can cause thrush (a superficial infection of the skin and mucous membranes in the mouth). It is a yeast infection. It can cause inflammation and discomfort.
How much medication he receives in one month depends on the number of days that month: 56 inhalations in February (58 if it is a leap year), 30 inhalations in months with 30 days, and 62 inhalations during the 31 day months.
The two brand name medications the Advair Diskus replaces are Flovent and Serevent.
I hope this answer was helpful!

Q: ASVAIR DISKUS WARNING Means???
ADVAIR DISKUS WARNING Means???
Question Details: What ALL does this Advair Diskus Warning Mean???
Read this ALL please& Than Answer:
Rarely,serious(sometimes fatal) asthma-related breathing problems have occurred with the use of long-acting inhaled beta agonists(e.g.,salmeterol)… product contains salmeterol in combination with fluticasone(a corticosteriod)It is not known if adding corticosteriod changes this risk.Therefore patients with asthma,this drug should only be prescribed when one long-term medication(e.g. inhaled corticosteriods)does not control breathing problems or when more than one long- term medication is clearly needed to control breathing problems.Before using this medication, it is important to learn how to use it properly.Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with this medication with your doctor.
What ALL does it mean???
I’m so worried about taking it :*( :*( :*(
A: Don’t worry about it. I have been taking that discus for almost 3 years now, twice a day, everyday. What it means is that there is a slight risk because it is a steroid, but it is quite safe. The only thing you do NEED to do is rinse your mouth out after using it, because the powder you inhale could cause thrush (a mouth infection). Don’t worry, it is great and has really helped my asthma a lot! Good luck to you!

What ALL does it mean???
I’m so worried about taking it but I was prescribed it.
A: It basically means that not everyone can use this medication. Some people may have an allergic reaction to one of the ingrediants. Some people may find the drug does not help their asthma.
There are similar (or even more horrifying) warnings on every drug made.
What’s more important with advair (which I’ve taken for years) is that you shake it well, hold it level, breathe in, do NOT breathe out into the canister, and rinse your mouth afterwards.
Q: Will missing my regular doses of asthma prevention medication undo the long-term effects of the medicine?
As in it preventing the severity of asthma symptons. Lately when my inhaler runs out its never convinient to get a refill before im due to take my next dose, this happened recently (due to my lack of preperation). Cud this be part of the reason my asthma symptons improve for a couple of weeks then get gradually worse for a few weeks and so on?
My preventer inhaler is Seritide Accuhaler 250, ingrediants include salmeterol (long-acting bronchodilator) and fluticasone (corticisteroid), i take 2 doses twice a day
A: That is a decent dose of Seretide and being a steroid MUST NOT be stopped suddenly. Not only does this put you at risk of an asthma episode but, since your body is used to quite high dose synthetic steroid it does not respond normally and produce its own steroids so well when they are required.
Q: can i take diflucan if im on a asthma puffer?
i have a bad cough so the doctor gave me this “Seretide accuhaler” which contains 250micograms of FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE and 50 micorgrams of SALMETEROL (AS XINAFOATE)
i jsut copied that off the box. i have a horrible itch down there with redness and want to take a diflucan, but am worried if i take it it may have a reaction with the puffer? i only use the puffer before i go to sleep.
could a nurse or doc please help me out?
thanks
A: There are no interactions between those, you are fine to use both.

Does it mean if your asthma gets wroser when on that medince that it can cause death from that??
What ALL does it mean???
I’m worried about taking it but was prescribed it.
A: They don’t know what causes it for sure but when you take this drug your chances of having a life threatening asthma attack are much higher. I have tried ADVAIR and I don’t like it, I will stick to my albuterol inhaler even it I have to use it more often. You may have a choice, tell your doctor you would prefer not to take this medication. Albuterol + inhaled steroid might be just as good for you.
