Q. I have chronic hayfever problems in the mornings for the first hour.Seems to be a correlation with dairy produ I also got asthma 8 years ago at age 69, after having 2 pet cats. It is controlled with 2 puffs of Symbicord daily, am & pm. Anyone managed a complete cure?

A. Allergies/hay fever/asthma-No CURE as of now,controlled by medication. ther also are two types of asthma-cardiac asthma usually you find in older people,next time you talk to your DR-ask him-sometimes DRs do not want to upsat there patients--asthma attacks can happen from food allergies,see what he/she saids about it----good luck-mrfoot56

A. except well known drug interactions- most Dr. check it out with a computer program they have. you need to ask a Dr. or a pharmacist about it. but i can tell you that if you wait 4 times the T1/2 - that is enough to consider the drug out of the system.

Anyone who suffers from hay fever, called pollinosis in medical terminology, will complain about the discomfort it causes.
Forty-four patients (mean age, 36 years) with Japanese cedar pollinosis were randomly assigned to receive, in double-blind fashion, Bifidobacterium longum strain BB536 or placebo for 13 weeks during the pollen season.
Air samples collected at certified pollen stations are used to count numbers and types of pollen and fungal spores, and these counts are used by allergists to predict the greatest risk for pollinosis in individuals due to the presence of a particular aeroallergen.
