Any other alternative which cure and treat my asthma . Few have suggested that i should replace aerocort with foracort inhaler .Please suggest if there are any side effects of using aerocort for long term . Thanks M

Hi, thanks for query. Airport rota caps contain levosalbutamol along with beclomethasone. As you are having frequent nocturnal symptoms you are probably having uncontrolled asthma. I will advocate you to use Forecourt inhaler(200) twice daily through spacer along with Dublin inhaler when required. Asthma probably can't be cured, but it can definitely be kept under control. You can also take montelukast- levocetrizine combination tablet once daily for 2 weeks followed by levocetrizine once daily. There are only few side effects of long term inhalation steroids. These were oral candidiasis and hoarseness of voice. Always wash your mouth and gargle after having each inhalation. Other long term side effects such as osteoporosis, glucose intolerance, hypertension do not occur with the dose of MDI you are taking. It is always more important to keep asthma under control rather than worrying about the side effects of the medications. You may also use a diary to note down the symptoms you are having to assess the control status. Help of a peak flow meter can also be taken to objectively assess asthma control. Don't get worried. Asthma can be kept under control if you use the above-mentioned medicines at correct doses regularly. Hope, I satisfied your queries.  Thanks.
