I'm a 53-year-old man living in Delhi and every year during the humid months of July through September, I start getting these breathing problems. So far, I've been taking Montair LC every couple of days at night, and it helps. But sometimes if I forget, I end up using Asthaline inhaler when I get breathless, and then I take Montair LC, which usually makes things better. I've recently heard that Montair LC might have some side effects, and now I'm a bit worried about continuing with it. Should I just stick to using the Asthaline inhaler whenever I feel I need it, instead of taking Montair LC regularly?
