Hello Doctor,I have been having the problem of wheezing since I was the age of 18. My government doctor prescribed me Asthalin spary, which I used for almost 7 years. Later, my doctor advised me to start taking Romilast-L10, which I am now taking every night. I dont have any problems when I take it. However when I stop taking it, in addition to wheezing, I also get itching on my hand and legs. Please let me know if this is the side effect of Romilast L 10. And is there any other way to get rid of wheezing and medicines totally.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Dominant L is having montelukast and levocetrizine. Both are safe for long term use. Montelukast is anti-allergic and levocetrizine is antihistamine. Both are used in breathlessness due to allergic cause like asthma or allergic bronchitis. In my opinion, you should start inhaler with long acting beta 2 agonists (LAB) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) instead of Stalin. Stalin is short-acting beta 2 agonists (SAGA). Its action lasts for only 1-2 hours. While action of LAB and ICS last for 10-12 hours. So better symptomatic control can be achieved. ICS also helps in itching. So consult your doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
