Hi Doc, I have been using Asthalin inhaler for about 20 years now. I used to use it once a week or 10 days or on emergency. But for the past two years the number of times I get breathing difficulty have increased and am was using Asthalin once every 1- 2 days. Very recently I am forced to use it repeatedly at least 4-5 times a day for the past 3-4 months. I have been also having cold and cough for the past 3 weeks now. One doctor suggested that I start using Montek LC everyday. 2 tabs a day. I am worried if it would have any side effects. Should I continue using Montek LC forever or should I stop it after I get relief?
Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Brief answer:Monte LC may be helpful as a controller Chat Doctor. But you need not continue it forever. Detailed answer:Your history implies that your asthma is not under good control over few months. If I were treating your treating physician, I would advise inhaled corticosteroid for prevention as well as control of asthma attack and Stalin inhaler as required which gives you acute relief. I would also advise you to avoid triggers like cold, dust and other allergens so far it is possible. So my suggestion is: Please contact with a respiratory specialist to confirm the steps of asthma control and to get treatment accordingly. Hope this helps you.
