Re: asthma meds & AS meds?

[Guest guest]

Symbicort IS great. My son takes it, as he has AS, asthma, chronic rhinusitis, AND allergies... LOL Poor kid.Anyway, he takes Symbicort, Singulair, and has taken both with several different medications - Concerta, Risperidone, and now Clonidine. NO issues whatsoever. Our allergy/asthma DR had us speak to our pediatrician to make sure, but she told me no problem, there's no interaction issues amongst them.That being said, I'm sure you were " warned " about Singulair... as it CAN cause behavioural issues - but like anything else, it wont' for EVERYBODY. It didn't cause any problems for my son, but it DID get his allergies/asthma under control. We now only take Singulair " when needed " .Hope this helps! =)On 08/19/10, tfitzge134@... wrote:  Hi, Symbicort is great!!

I usually start the medicine with small dosis until the body get used to it, then I start using the full dosis.

The singular is ok. I take both medicine without any sides efffects...

thanks for the replies... I had NOT been told that one could cause behavioral

problems... I guess I'm glad we'll be starting it before school starts, then!

Still waiting for the darn insurance company to agree to cover them but

fortunately (for me) my brother works at the hospital and was able to snag me

some samples so we can get started.

I've heard asthma meds (just like any other meds) can cause behavioural

problems. A lot of asthmatics are sensitive to chemicals in diet (eg additives,

histamine foods) and many get better control over their asthma with smaller

doses of meds by watching diet
