I'm a bit worried about my breathing sometimes. I had a stent implant about 3 years back and I've noticed that when I catch a cold or have a cough, it becomes hard to breathe. My doctor gave me a few medicationsBudecort 200, Esiflo 250, Tiova, and Leveloinbut I usually just take Budecort 200 whenever I feel it's needed. Is this okay to do, or should I be taking all the prescribed medications regularly?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
Yes, Xanilax SR 200 is a suitable substitute for Theoasthalin SR in the treatment of Asthma. Xanilax SR 200 contains Theophylline which helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. As for the cost, Xanilax SR 200 may be slightly more expensive than Theoasthalin SR, but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription for optimal management of Asthma symptoms. The usual dosage of Xanilax SR 200 is 200mg once daily, but please follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage based on your mother's condition.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with TB for about a year now and I've been on the medications Rcinex 750mg and Combutal 800mg the whole time. The doctor advised me to stop after 9 months, which I did, but now I'm experiencing a fever and a slow cough again. I had to restart the meds and I'm not seeing any weight gain either, which is concerning. Also, whenever I drink something like Thums Up, my tongue feels really strange and kind of tingly. What should I do about all this? I'm a bit confused and would like some guidance.
