Should i take foracort and rotacap inhaler if no cough is there?
Patient: Hi,I am a 34 yr female with no previous history of asthma or breathing issues,neither does anybody in my family suffer the same.i had severe cough 3 weeks ago,which has now subsided.my first doctor recommended a course of erythromycin,which I took and got some relief.he told me tht the cough will gradually go away.on seeking a 2nd opinion,I was told to take fortacort 200mg rotacap inhaler morning evng,I continued for a week and then stopped.shud I continue to use it as recommended by the doc .i currently have no cough or any othr symptoms of asthma.if yes,wht r the possible side effects Doctor: Hi and thanks for the query,These drugs need specific indications to be taken. First , because they have specific side effects that need to be monitored carefully and secondly, because the effectiveness is dose dependent and patient dependent.I suggest you meet an internist and possibly a pulmonologist first.
