I'm currently using an Asthalin inhaler for my asthma, but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative out there. I really want to manage my asthma more effectively. Do you know of any inhalers that might work better or offer improved management?
Only asthalin is used only in a very mild form of asthma. If the asthma is not controlled on asthalin only, you may have to use other inhalers. It is best that you show a chest physician who can examine and prescribe you appropriate inhaler.
