My father aged 76 years is a case of Post PPI, PTCA, LV Dysfunction(EF 18%), Stent to LAD, he got admitted in the hospital due to admomen pain. But in the hospital he used to cough continously they gave him Ambrolite 2S syrup but no improvement was seen, when he took his meal he does not feel good and vomiting some times. Now he has discharged from the hospital ( Apollo Hospital ), they have suggested Budecort Nebulisation and Duolin Nebulisation. I want to ask you, it is good to give budecort nebulisation and duolin nebulisation, how many times and how long.Please help me.Thanks
Hi, It is important to know that uncontrolled asthma has a far more deleterious effect on health than side effects of the medicine. At this age decor Nebulization is the treatment of choice. If your father remains controlled with this medication, then an attempt to reduce the dose of steroid will be attempted within six months. Side effects of inhalation steroids are hoarseness of voice, oral candidiasis. After each inhalation, you need to wash region with water. Inhalational steroids when taken at larger dose may lead to osteoporosis, glucose intolerance, puffiness of face, hypertension. Hope, I satisfied your queries.
