Can I mix Duolin and Budecort in my nebulizer? This is my first time using one, and Im a bit unsure. Also, should I be adding something else like saline solution?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be mixed together in a nebulizer for administration. However, it's recommended to dilute the mixture with Normal Saline (NS) to a total volume of 4-6 mL, as undiluted solutions can be too concentrated and may cause irritation

View allI'm really worried about my dad's asthma. He's been using Serollo 250 for the past 5 years because his asthma specialist recommended it. However, lately, every time we get a new one, it seems defective and isn't helping much. His asthma symptoms are actually getting worse, and Im really concerned. Is there an alternative to Serollo 250 that we might be able to find at local stores? I've attached a pic of the product if that helps.

I've been feeling breathless for the past couple of weeks, but my X-ray and pulmonary function test came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about Telecast L. Can you help me understand what this is and how it might help with my breathlessness? I'm starting to worry since everything looks normal on the tests.
