I've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsure about this and could use some guidance.

Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.

My dad, who's 60, has been prescribed Azee 500 three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for his COPD, along with some other inhalers. I think Azee 500 is an antibiotic, but I'm worried if it's alright to take an antibiotic for as long as 3 months. Could you shed some light on this?

Azee 500 (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic, and while it's typically used for short-term treatment, long-term use can sometimes be necessary for chronic conditions like COPD to prevent bacterial infections. However, extended use should be monitored closely by a doctor to avoid side effects like resistance or disruption of gut bacteria. Its essential to follow the prescribed regimen and attend regular check-ups.
