Respiratory System
Disclaimer
These lines/ prescriptions are the FINAL link between the late great clinicians and our generation. The clinical situations described here are my original first hand narration. The choice of medicines are based on the proven experiences my mentors had regularly utilised towards the fag end of their famous bright career. The prescription mentioned is EXACTLY what was written by them in paper. I have found them effective in my practice and also in my friends circles who were verbally communicated the same. How ever, I take no responsibility on the efficacy/ suitability on the same in the similar conditions you face. Readers are requested to exercise their discretion in understanding the condition and also picking up drugs selection.
