Hi,
I wrote you yesterday about my mum!She has asthma since January 2014,and she takes inhalerDuaklir Genuair 340 two times every day,and for treating tyroxine (Hashimoto thiroiditis)takes Letrox (levotyroxine). She has rheumatoid arthitris since May 2015,then rh factor was 38,4 and the reumatology gave her medrol (methylprednisolone) at first 8mg and after two or three months 4mg,and she still takes it!But now she needs to take medications for high blood pressure (Iruzide - lisinopril 10mg) every morning,bacause it is the medrol side effect!She takes methotrexate at first 7,5 mg,then 12,5 mg and now 15mg,and day after taking mtx she takes folic acid 5mg!
She is 51 years old,she weighs 84 kg and 1,68m height!So I want to ask is this good therapy for her?Is there anything that she need to change?And can she take Zofran on mtx day to prevent nausea?
Thanks in advance,
Best regrads from Bihać (BIH)
