Question 1

I'm currently using an inhaler called Budamate 200, and I'm just entering my first trimester of pregnancy. I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it during these early months. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Accepted Answer

Budamate 200, containing budesonide, is classified as a category C medication in pregnancy, meaning its safety is uncertain; however, studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids like budesonide are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when used at low to moderate doses, but consult gynaecologist

Question 2

I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.

_Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_

1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects.
2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications.

_High Total Blood Protein_

1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as:
    - Dehydration
    - Liver or kidney disease
    - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
    - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma)
2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism.

_Next Steps_

1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.
2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause.
3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
