I've been having trouble with my nose getting blocked every morning around 5 a.m. for the past few days. I'm currently taking Telma 20 mg and Montair R10 once a day in the morning, along with using the Seretide 500 inhaler twice a day. Could any of these meds be influencing my symptoms, or is there something else going on? Any idea why this might be happening?

I'm wondering if it's okay to take AB Phylline SR tablets instead of the AB Phylline N tablets that my doctor recommended for my continuous and excessive mucus issue. I can't seem to find the N tablets in my area, just the SR ones. Could you let me know if it's alright to make this switch?

It's best to follow your doctor's prescription, as there may be specific reasons for recommending AB Phylline N. However, if AB Phylline SR is the only option available, I would advise consulting your doctor or pharmacist before switching to ensure it's suitable for your condition.
