I'm dealing with asthma and I've been taking moticope tablets for around six years now, every other day. I think I'm getting addicted because if I miss a dose, I can't sleep at all that night, which is starting to scare me. I really don't want any long-term side effects from this. Is there any way I can break this habit? Are there any alternatives that won't cause side effects? Also, for the past year, I've been feeling a mild burning sensation when I pee. A urologist said everything looks normal, but I'm worried if it could be from the moticope tablets. Can you give me some advice?

I've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and need osteochondral surgery can I still go ahead with it? What's the usual process for this kind of surgery and are there any risks because of the TB?

It is generally not recommended to undergo elective osteochondral surgery while actively battling tuberculosis (TB). TB can reactivate or disseminate during and after surgery, and it can also complicate the healing process. It's crucial to defer the osteochondral surgery until the TB has been thoroughly treated and stabilized

My dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.
