Question

Can I switch from using Formonide 200 Respicap to the Formonide 200 puff inhaler? I mainly deal with asthma issues during hot summers, but I'm usually fine for about 10 months of the year. Just wondering if making this switch might help or if I should stick to what I'm currently using. What's the difference and any pros or cons I should know about?

I'm having asthma since I was a child, and for the past three days, I've been struggling to breathe properly. I've been using my Asthalin inhaler, but today I tried some Asthalin syrup and my breathlessness got worse. Now my hands are shaking, and my heart is racing. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis and has been on ATT for over a month now. Initially, she was prescribed AKT 2 450300. But just last week, the doctor switched her to R Cinex 450300 capsules. Ever since the change, she's been vomiting in the mornings after taking it, and she's been experiencing itchiness in her legs and hands, along with leg pain. Do you think we should go back to AKT 2?
