Suffering from severe headache

2020-11-16 18:28:45
Hi, My father is diagnosed with copd and has been on foracort 100 since 3 years. But as a side effect of this medication he has severe headache and to control this he takes 1000 mg of crocin daily. Kindly advise if foracort 100 mg would cause headache as side effect and how to overcome the pain. Is it advised to have crocin daily to overcome the pain? Thanks, Swaroop

Foracort doesn't cause headache, moreover the dosage is pretty low ,do a online consultation with a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management
