Benepali/Asthma

[MaryTH]

Hi everyone, hope you are all managing this awful RA. I just wanted a little advice. I am about to start on Benepali but have been very wheezy with asthma lately. I cannot see GP till Thursday. Do you think it would be best to delay the Benepali until after. Your advice is always appreciated.

Be safe and ask the doc first .gentle hugs .x

You can leave messages for your gp and they can call you back. Tell the receptionist you need urgent medical advice.I guess they will want to check your asthma, Have you checked your peak flow?.

If your asthma bad from an infection you may need treated.

Hope you feel better soon

Yes you need to rule out an infection exacerbating your asthma. If it’s any consolation I started Benepali for Ankylosing Spondylitis in February and it appears to have improved my asthma symptoms too. Hope same happens for you 😁
