Can I use Traumeels cream with an asthma medicine?

My daughter uses the Symbicort inhaler for Asthma and she has an inflammation on her back as well. The chiropractor advised us to buy the homeopathic gel Traumeels .





I tried to ask the doctor is that's ok to use it but he does not know about the Traumeels since it is natural product...





Has anyone tried using both of them and know that they are good to go together?





Thanks.Can I use Traumeels cream with an asthma medicine?
Many topical anti-inflammatories are steroidal creams, which can have additive effects with the inhaler. It's great that you're aware of this potential interaction!





Traumeel, however, is a homeopathic preparation. It's very effective for treating inflammation and bruising (lumps, bumps, burns, rashes, bruises, etc. on unbroken skin.) But because the contents are homeopathic, I can tell you with 100% certainty that it **DOES NOT interact with meds** including your daughter's Symbicort.





Hope your daughter is on the mend soon!Can I use Traumeels cream with an asthma medicine?
That would be a good question to ask either a doctor or pharmacist. Both of them have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not.... anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know) ;-) Good luck!
