Posted on Mon, 23 Jan 2017
Question: Can I use the Asmanex Twisthaler and the Proair HFR with albuterol together for asthma bronchitis? Should I use a cough medicine stronger than Robitussin sugar free cough and chest congestion DM?

Thank you. XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Proair HFR is nothing but albuterol sulphate so use just one of them.
Asmanex twisthaler can be used along with one of them .
Once your bronchii open up your cough will also reduce.
But if it is still debilitating you can use mucolyte syrup along with Ascoril expectorant one will cause mucolysis and other is an expectorant.
Hope this helps

Dr. Hakeema,

Thank you for your answer. Which over the counter cough medicine has the ingredients that you gave me?

Sincerely, XXXXXXX


Dr. XXXXXXX

Will the cough medicine cause me to cough more or just help me to remove the mucous when I do cough? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
It will do both

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
The mucolyte syrup I have given will dissolve the thick mucous and will facilitate it to come out easily.
Iam not sure about the brand names in USA .You could ask for mucolyte syrup.
Ascoril contains bromhexine hydrochloride you could search any syrup which contains that.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
