I’ve been on symbicort for the last decade, basically made me not have asthma at all, only had attacks when my allergies picked up strong. And my new doctor gave me montelukast and inhalan plus for those and I’ve been kinda living like a normal person ever since.
Well as long as I don’t run out of the stuff
Initially I was prescribed two doses of symbicort a day but during the pandemic I couldn’t afford it so I started stretching it out by using it only once a day and realized that was enough for me so I’ve been using it only once a day since then
This new doctor also tried to get me off symbicort but the tests showed I couldn’t breathe properly without it so we decided to try again on the summer with better weather to see if maybe I can go into a different schedule that is even more reduced in uses
Sorry, I haven’t… Started on Advair when diagnosed in high school and it’s worked well for me for over 20 years. Only need my emerg inhaler maybe once every 1-2 years. Don’t wanna mess with what’s working, lol
Thats sorta crazy you take that chronically twice a day tho for mild asthma. Like, i would consider mine mild and I only take mine like on the less than 2x a week. For the combined longer broncho and corticosteroid and it gets lesser by the year
Did you try other meds like Symbicort?
