Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Unfortunately I have an HMO which forced me to get a preferred provider in an urgent care center. I have only been seen by a young 25 year old PA. She prescribed to me Dulera as a daily preventive inhalant for once a day usage medicine for my recently diagnosed COPD condition
First of all is she qualified to digonose such a serious condition and secondly is Dulera the right medicine

Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM. Dulera inhaler contain a combination of formoterol and mometasone.I were to ask you to get a Pulmonary Function Test done & then would start on formoterol (which dilates your respiratory tract) & watch for the relief and add the second drug if it does not give symptomatic relief.Hope this answers your query.Get well soon.
