A member asked:
How long one can take deltacotril 5mg in bronchiectasis and does it play role in minimizing infections.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deltacortril: This is prednisolone, should be taken under doctor's supervision, the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration as needed. It doesn't minimize infection, rather minimizes inflammation, it isn't the main treatment for bronchiectasis, your doctor has a logic in prescribing it though, talk to your doctor, best wishes
