Hi Castaways, I think you need to go back to your doctor to talk about this. If you've been taking both medications for 12 days without trouble, it could be something else causing the problem, even anxiety or stress would affect your breathing. If you have a local chemist open on a Sunday you could try talking to a pharmacist today. They are usually very knowledgeable about drug interactions.

Good luck with this. Let us know how you get on.
