Brief Answer:
Very good combination.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX good afternoon.
The prescription of Deriphylin 150 Retard and Seroflo 250 inhaler is absolutely fine.
Deriphyllin 150 retard is always taken in a twice daily dosage and the best part is you can increase the quantity to 2 if your weight is more or the attach is severe. Small packet- you can carry anywhere, keep a few at home, at office, in your vehicle so no chance of missing the dosages.
Seroflo Inhaler contains fluticasone and salmeterol in a form that they act locally / topically when given in the form of spray. By virtue of a combination of two drugs the effect is very very good.
Both the medicines in unison can keep you attack-free.
You do not need any other inhaler.
You may please take additional medicines:
Vitamin A and D in therapeutic dosages , Anti-oxidants in the form of multi-vitamins which are available in Medical stores. Ranitidine if there is acidity problem.
Avoid the allergens which instigate your asthma.
Very good combination.
