I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's got bullous emphysema and has to use a nebulizer twice a day. In the morning, he uses Foracort respules and in the evening, Duolin respule. He's also on several tablets like Abflo, Cilacar, Mucinac 600, and a syrup called Ambrolite Levo. Lately, he's been having trouble breathing, especially when he walks or goes to the toilet. I'm wondering if Budecort respules might be a better option than Foracort. Could you give me some advice?
