Avatar f tn There are many philosophies, but one protocol suggests albuterol should be used first and ipratropium five minutes later. Try the foradil (formoterol fumarate inhalation power). It too is expensive, but the company provides free samples.
Avatar n tn You and he/she will have to resort to other preparations, to include a different inhaled steroid, such as Flovent® HFA Inhalation Aerosol (fluticasone propionate), either alone or in combination with a long-acting bronchodilator, like Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) or Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder), such a combination being either Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Aerosol or Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarat
Avatar n tn Does Symbicort 80/4.5 (budesonide 80 mcg and formoterol fumarate dihydrate 4.5 mcg) Inhalation Aerosol effect the eyes? Does it raise the interocular pressure if used with known glaucoma? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/371195'>Borderline Glaucoma and Steroids</a>.
Avatar n tn This would include a long-acting bronchodilator, such as Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate), Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder) or Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) along with an inhaled steroid. Another potentially helpful, oral medicine is called theophylline. Your doctor may also want to prescribe this. You should have your blood oxygen level checked, in case it is low and you would need supplemental oxygen.
Avatar m tn I was also taking anti-fungals having developed thrush from probably formoterol fumarate inhalers. I am also dealing with ringworm. Nothing grew from the cultures taken from blood, sputum, or a specimen from endoscopy. The pneumonia abated and while at home I felt remarkably better. Then my girlfriend noticed my hair was falling out at an alarming rate. While looking at the hair in my hand I noticed my fingernails had no cuticles! Feet are also affected.
Avatar n tn You should have another follow-up x-ray, now. The prescription of Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dehydrate) Inhalation Aerosol does not mean you have asthma. It only means that your doctor suspects that you might have it. Given that it is now nearly 4 months since the bout of pneumonia, you deserve further diagnostic evaluation by a lung specialist.
Avatar f tn Oral prednisone has been misused and also makes one prone to bacterial lung infection, but on a short-term (a very short term - no more than five days), it seems to be very helpful in reducing the time that the lung returns to normal. Foradil (formoterol fumarate) can also be helpful until the lung "settles down", even if you don't use it 365 days a year. As far as the "shortnress of breath" being linked to the asthma - probably, but not necessarily.
Avatar f tn If you are really insistent about cheating death I would suggest you have your physician prescribe formoterol fumarate inhalation powder. It is sold as the "foradil aerolizer". It is long acting, and an alternative to oral steroids. It should settle down your lungs for a good three to four hours after use.
Avatar n tn 1) yes, the bad air almost certainly induced acute inflammation of your bronchi, commonly called airways, but it is equally certain that this inflammation is completely reversible, although it may require months of therapy with the Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dehydrate) Inhalation Aerosol, Flovent® HFA Inhalation Aerosol (fluticasone propionate), Pulmicort Flexhaler® (budesonide inhalation powder) or similar medicines; 2) No, the treatment would not have had an adverse effect on
15432957 tn?1440518782 Below is the description of my symptoms: DYSPNEA (symptoms of the last 10 days) -Hard to breathe all day. -Shallow breathing only. Deep breathing has no effect and tires me. -Gets worse after eating. -Tired of breathing. Every day all day is a roller coaster of a hard time breathing and a very hard time breathing. -There's a constant squeezing in the left side of my chest. -Weak physically to walk. Going up stairs isn't easy anymore.
Avatar f tn Some medications have both a steroid plus formoterol. My feeling is to try the formoterol fumarate alone, and see if that solves the problem before going to the dual-medication formulas.
746512 tn?1388807580 Symbicort for example includes both Pulmicort, as well as an LABA called Formoterol. Another example is Advair (Flovent/Salmeterol). I would definitely recommend seeing your Pulmonary Specialist.
Avatar m tn They include salmeterol (brand name Serevent) and formoterol (brand name Atimos). Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
Avatar n tn The symptoms you describe are typical of cor pulmonale, a disease of the right ventrical. Typically there is sudden onset of "air hunger" in the middle of the night, replicating the symptoms of asthma, and the problem is often resolved by asthmatic medications and misdisgnosed as "asthma". In this disease it is typical to "wake up in the middle of the night" with the suddenly developing symptoms.
1580703 tn?1651904887 You might consider asking your physician about taking a medication such as Foradil (formoterol fumarate) which increases the effectiveness of oxygen transfer in the lungs. There are usually co-factors in patients with your symptoms, such as COPD, or systemic circulatory disease, or a blood disorder. Exactly why do your physician(s) believe the 02 level is so low?
Avatar f tn My doctor let me have Viread. I checked online at pharmacy checker. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablet and Viread Tablet, are they the same in treatment wise? I went to CVS store, it cost 1000 USD to 30/300mg for Viread Tablet. is it too expensive? The staff there told me generic tablet is not available. But why I see it online as I said earlier? What happens if I take brand and then switch to generic like a year later? Will the generic medicine do the same? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Bazinet and colleagues[17] conducted a randomized, controlled trial assessing the safety and efficacy of REP 2139 and a REP 2139 derivative with improved clearance (REP 2165) infused once a week in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and pegylated interferon alpha-2a in treatment-naive patients with chronic HBeAg-negative infection. This triple-combination therapy was well tolerated in all patients, and no infusion reactions were observed with either NAP.
Avatar n tn That means that this type of medicine should be used with caution and, in fact, maybe should not be used until it has been determined by a specialist that your rapid heart beat would not pose a serious risk, with the use of long-acting bronchodilator medicines such as Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder) or Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate). You should also have a chest x-ray and spirometry, a simple breathing test with and without a bronchodilator.
Avatar m tn d originally been on Asmanex (200mcg mometasone furoate, two hits a day), now on Dulera (200mcg mometasone fuorate + 5mcg formoterol fumarate dihydrate, two hits TWICE a day), plus an anti-histamine. I also have an albuterol rescue inhaler, that I've had to take almost daily. While the inhalers work wonderfully against outdoor allergens - I'm totally fine outside on a high-pollen + bad air quality day, but as soon as I come back inside, I can feel my lungs slowly seal up.
Avatar n tn Ask your physician about prescribing Foradil Aerosolizer, a powder consisting of formoterol fumarate, 12 mcg, a long-acting beta-agonist, generally used twice a day. Some people tolerate this very well. Others have problems.
Avatar f tn That is actually not much better than tenofovir vs tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, the actual substance in Viread. It is 50 times more potent than tenofovir. It is all this improper simplification of callling viread tenofovir. Tenovovir, if it would be given orally, would have no effect on HBV. TEnofovir if given intravenously or sc would still have almost no effect on HBV in the liver. the substance has a high negative charge and cannot easlily penetrate cell membranes.
