Can I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.

Safety of Using Duolin and Budecort Together
- It is generally safe to use both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID respiratory care. They target different aspects of respiratory issues: Duolin as a bronchodilator and Budecort as an anti-inflammatory.
-
Purpose of Each Medication
- Duolin: Combines Ipratropium Bromide and Levosalbutamol to relieve airway constriction.
- Budecort: A corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation.
-
Recommended Nebulization Schedule
- Use Duolin first to open airways, followed by Budecort to reduce inflammation. Space them at least 15 minutes apart. Follow your doctor's prescribed frequency.
-
Administration Tips
- Ensure proper nebulizer use: place the mouthpiece correctly, inhale slowly, and clean the device after use. Monitor for side effects like increased heart rate or throat irritation.
-
When to Consult a Doctor
- Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or if you experience severe side effects. Regular follow-up is crucial in post-COVID care.
-
Relevant Medical Specialties

View allFor a couple of weeks now, I've been having trouble taking deep breaths and can't seem to yawn properly. It's making me feel a bit dizzy. Ive seen some general doctors, and they said it might be because of a cold, but I'm not convinced. Could there be something more serious, like an issue with my heart or lungs? Any chance there might be a blockage or something?
Difficulty taking deep breaths, incomplete yawning, and associated dizziness can sometimes result from respiratory conditions like a cold or anxiety, but it's essential to rule out more serious issues involving the heart or lungs. Consulting a pulmonologist and a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation would be prudent. Recommended diagnostic tests include pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to assess lung function, a chest X-ray or CT scan to visualize lung structures, and an echocardiogram and electrocardiogram (ECG) to evaluate heart function. Keeping a symptom diary and discussing these details with your healthcare provider will aid in diagnosis.

I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?

I recently had a TB test and the results mentioned something called "tenting of the left hemidiaphragm." I'm curious and a bit worried about what might have caused this. Is it something serious, and could it be a sign of TB?
Tenting of the left hemidiaphragm can be caused by various factors such as inflammation, injury, or infection. While it may not directly indicate tuberculosis (TB), it could suggest other conditions affecting the diaphragm. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the cause.
