I'm currently pregnant and dealing with COPD. I've been advised to use Foracort 400 Rotacaps twice a day throughout my pregnancy, but I'm worried about whether it's safe for the baby. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I've just taken 4 puffs from my Asthalin inhaler and 2 Theoasthalin tablets. Is that too much? Could an overdose like this actually harm my airways? I'm really worried about potential side effects.

I'm experiencing breathing problems for quite a while now, and I've been taking Montek LC tablets. Could you tell me if that's a good idea or if there's something else I should be doing? I really need some guidance on this.

Taking Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) can help manage allergies and breathing issues caused by conditions like allergic rhinitis or mild asthma. However, long-term breathing problems should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, COPD, or other respiratory disorders. Please consult a specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?
