I'm a bit worried about my mom's medication after she was discharged from the hospital. She's been prescribed Duolin 2.5 ml TDS and Flohale 2.5 ml BD for nebulization. I'm not sure if I should be mixing them together for her treatment, or if they need to be nebulized separately. Can you help clarify this for me?

Duolin and Flohale should be given separately when nebulizing. Duolin is usually taken three times a day (TDS), while Flohale is taken twice a day (BDS). Ensure theres a gap of at least 10 minutes between the two medications to avoid any interaction. Always follow your doctors advice for the best results.
