Is Romilast-10 Effective For Asthma?

I am 37 yrs old, asthamatic since I was 24 yrs old, presumably triggered by the high air pollution in the city that I went to work in 1997. I am now in New Delhi with extreme temperatures. The onset of winter has begun and am pretty badly off. I only use the Asthalin Inhaler (Cipla). A local doctor recommended ROMILAST 10 mg to me for 6 weeks. Will Romilast help? Any side effects? Suggestions?
