Doubt regarding duolin and budecort dose

2021-06-12 16:51:06
Hi doctor, Actually my grandma has mild asthma, so sometimes she will breath heavily. My aunt is a nurse and she advised to take duolin and budecort together or separately in nebulizer at times when she is feeling that heavy breathing issue. So we used to give like weekly once or twice when she is feeling bad. When I was searching in internet, I got to know that the dosage and time gap should be taken as suggested by the doctor. So I wanted to know, if we can give her this medicine... If so should it be given separately or together... What's the dosage allowed and how frequently can we give her it in nebulizer? It would be of great help, if anybody could answer my queries... Thanks in advance :)

Your aunt is correct.Nurses have more experience. Both can be taken separately or can be mixed.Better levolen and budecort,  will help more.But they have to be taken for the period, till symptoms are reduced  and  then to be tapered. You canot stop abruptly. Slowly, she can take, inhalers alone. However Pl consult, Pulmonologist  for further evaluation and latest treatment.
