Breathing Issue using Transhaler
From last 2 days I am having breathing problem while sitting/sleeping without any physical activity. Consulted pulmonologist and she prescribed medicine such as Budamate 200 transhaler, monteclc, zostum o, ab flo which I am taking for last 2 days and feel better now. But whenever I take inhaler I feel diziness and discomfort in hand and leg. This is the 1st time I am using inhaler. Not sure whether to continue with the inhaler or not. As all medicine is prescribed for 5 days can I suddenly stop inhaler after that. This is the 1st time I am using inhaler.

Hi noted above history and related issues.
As you mentioned inhaled glucocorticoids are safe and very negligible amount is metabolised and doesn’t cause any harm .
Kindly continue the MDI after foods and rinse mouth after use .
You will be alright soon.

Inhalers should not be stopped in such a way. Sometimes inhalers can cause discomfort in hand in legs also but it's not the appropriate reason to stop.
