Question 1

My asthma has been out of control for 6 days now. i currently take singulair at bed, clariten d in am, ampule of xopenex 3x a day and flonase 2x a day. should i add flovent? still short of breath.

Accepted Answer

You need to visit with your doc or an asthma specialist. I would not consider this much of an asthma action plan. To start with you should be on Flovent at least daily most of the year with increased doses when symptoms occur. Xopenex should rarely be needed if you are on a proper daily plan. Yes start Flovent now at least 2X/d but contact your doc.

Question 2

What can i do? i am a 56 year old male i weigh 450 lbs.i have copd, asthma and i have a c-pap i take spiriva, advair, flonase and singulair.i take coumadin because i had blood clots in my lungs.i have arthritis in my knees and i can't stand very long beca

Accepted Answer

There is always help if you are ready to receive it, internalize it, and act on it. Due to your multiple problems you will need a multi-disciplinary approach. Start by following up with all your doctors and following their recommendations.
The key here i believe is for you to seek counseling. Dealing with so many issues is very difficult and can take a toll on your mental well being and your ability to cope and deal with what may seem to be an overwhelming or hopeless situation, and to ultimately accept all possible outcomes, good or bad. 
In addition you need to be screened for depression and treated accordingly.
I wish you all the best.

Question 3

I'm using flonase and singulair (montelukast) to treat seasonal allergies as prescribed by the doctor. so far not much progress. can i use allegra on top?

Accepted Answer

But given how poorly you have responded to medications, it is unlikely that adding  Allegra (fexofenadine) would do the job. It may be time for you to consult an allergist.

Question 4

Can flonase be used 2x a day once am & once pm for nasal drip/allergies? if so, for how long can i continue this? also on xyzal, (levocetirizine) zyrtec, & singulair.

Accepted Answer

Flonase is usually taken once per day, unless your doctor prescribing it has told you otherwise. Also, both Xyzal (levocetirizine) and Zyrtec are long-acting antihistamines, also usually taken only once per day. You should discuss all of your medications with your doctor and they can advise you of the best way to take your allergy medications.

Question 5

Finishing 12 day steroid taper, using aerospan, flonase, &singulair, still have issues breathing through nose.did 2 antibiotic courses.ever get well?

Accepted Answer

Greetings. It sounds like you have been using some good medications. I suggest seeing an ENT doctor for a detailed endoscopic exam of your nasal and sinus passages. There could be a chronic infection not being effectively treated by your medication. Possibly a fungal infection. An image of your sinuses may also be recommended such as a CT scan if the ENT thinks it might help resolve your issues.

Question 6

How to i stop post nasal drip from aggravating my lungs & giving me asthma symptoms? i started flonase & singulair (montelukast) and the mucus is still coming.

Accepted Answer

If you just started these meds, they may need more time to be fully effective. If after 7-10 days on these meds you see absolutely no improvement, or if your symptoms are worsening within that time, then re-see your doctor. You may need to see an ear/nose/throat doctor if this happens for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 7

Can  allergic rhinitis w/ severe post nasal drip and painful swollen l-neck gland bring on high blood press. prescription zyrtec, singulair, (montelukast) flonase, motrin?

Accepted Answer

Allergic rhinitis is an immunological disease caused by mast cell degranulation and the release of mediators of inflammation, especially histamine.  I suppose it is possible that mast cell inflammatory mediators could alter blood pressure.  Also another possibility is anxiety caused by the presence of severe allergic response.  In general most cases of hypertension are not caused by nasal allergy.

Question 8

Does using the advair diskus (salmeterol and fluticasone) and the singulair tablet cause cold symptoms to be worse?

Accepted Answer

There is no medication in advair or singulair (montelukast) which should make "cold" symptoms worse. Actually the singulair (montelukast) should reduce the inncreased mucus and airway narrowing cuased by "colds" and advair should decrease the asthma symptoms caused by "colds.".

Question 9

Can you take tamiflu (oseltamivir) an flonase together??

Accepted Answer

There is no interference of one with the other.

Question 10

Is it possible for you to take flonase & musinex dm together?

Accepted Answer

You can take both medications at the same time providing that you follow the recommended dose for each medication.
