Does Budamate And Rotacap Have Any Prolonged Effects In Asthma Patients?
Hi,
I am suffering from asthma from the past 40 years. Now, i am 58 years old and suspected that it may be changed into COPD. I am using daily one Budamate 200 rotacap from the past 3 years and one montek lc tablet from the past 1 year. Recently, i am feeling throat pain and viscid phelgm. Can i continue the combination of these two medicines for asthma, is there any danger and other side effects for prolonged use of these medicines? Please give me advice in detail. Thank You.

Hi,
The viscid phlegm may be due to LC component of montek LC. Usually levo cetrizine is not recommended for more than 15 days as this can dry the secretion and make symptoms worse.
So you can continue the inhaler and use only montelukast 10 mg without any other combination. If symptoms worsens the budamate dose can be increased to prevent the symptoms.
