Brief Answer:
Take short acting inhaler.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion you are needing short acting beta 2 agonist (SABA) along with esiflo.
SABA includes levosalbutamol.
It's action starts in 1-2 minutes.
So you can take levosalbutamol now. You can take it every two hourly as a rescue inhaler.
Continue esiflo twice daily.
Trade name of levosalbutamol is Levolin or Salbair.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
