Q: Is the asthma medication “Symbicort” (budesonide/formoterol) a preventative or a reliever?
I could swear a doctor told me before that Symbicort was a preventative and that Ventolin (Salbutamol) was the reliever but today my doctor told me that in fact Symbicort is both?! And that in fact people don’t really even need Ventolin and if I am short of breath or feel a tightness on my chest or whatever the one to take is Symbicort and not really Ventolin? This goes against everything I had been told previously (as far as I remember) Is he correct?
Currently I take Ventolin (salbutamol), Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) and Singulair (montelukast) I had up until a few years ago mild asthma (got adult onset asthma in 2001) then it developed into what I guess you’d call more pronounced asthma. It’s not very bad or anything but I do need to take the asthma medication daily (will take Ventolin 3 or 4 times a day upto 4 puffs each time, symbicort usually only once or twice a day 2 to 4 puffs each time and one singulair tablet) Thanks.
If Symbicort is a reliever AND a preventative then why does someone need Ventolin? Hmmmm…..
A: It’s a preventive.
Q: Any Indian substitute for SYMBICORT TURBUHALER (budesonide/formotorel)INHALER from SWEDEN.?
It is an inhaler from Sweden with 60/120 inhaling dozes containing some inhaling powder for Asthamatic disease.
Can you pl. suggest some India made tablet or inhaler of similar value?
A: They should have this drug available in India, just from a different manufacturer.
If you can’t find it, go to the nearest pharmacy and see if there’s something comparable that will work instead.
Q: What’s wrong with my ears?
- mild hearing loss, low quality of the sound(right ear)
- high-pitched tinnitus (right ear)
- discomfort (right ear)
- cracking sound when swallowing (left ear)
Those were the symptoms I was experiencing for 3 months after my ear infection. (My doctor treated it with neomycine ear drops)
It got worse 1 month ago, I noticed a yellow ear discharge from both ears. I visited an ENT specialist and he told me that it’s just ear wax / sebum (Picture: http://i36.tinypic.com/214p95k.jpg). He syringed my left ear and it was clear for a week (my hearing was fine). When I started to feel pain in the right ear, he applied Castellani’s Paint in the ear canal.
A different doctor syringed my ears again 1 week later and I woke up the next day with both ears swollen…
He diagnosed me with chronic ear infection and prescribed some medicines: Ciprofloxacine ear drops called Proxacin (0.3% 3 mg/ml 5 ml, 4 drops per day), Augmentin (Amoxicillinum Acidum clavulanicum 2g / day), Budesonide nasal spray (2 doses / day), Ketokonazole (Nizoral) tablets (200mg / day)
I feel really bad right now, my hearing hasn’t recovered and I suffer from many side effects of those medicines. I can hear a heartbeat in my left ear after applying those ear drops and my tinnitus is louder. My pharmacophobia makes it even more difficult. Please, help me.
A: It could be something going on with the ear itself, or it could be something that involves the eighth cranial nerve. The only person who can diagnose and treat you is your ENT, call him NOW. Better yet, go to the ER. While there, tell them you are phobic and ask for something to calm your fears down. You have some sort of bacterial / fungal infection going on, and they need to figure out the origins of the problem.
