Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all let me clear your false belief.
Asthalin is having salbutamol. It is short acting beta 2 agonist (SABA). It is not corticosteroid.
Asthalin is having half life of only 2-3 hours. So it is not ideal for long term control.
In my opinion, you should start long acting inhaled bronchodilator like (formoterol or salmeterol or tiotropium).
Their action last for 12 hours.. So wheezing can be controlled for long duration. These are ideal drugs for wheezing.. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Don't worry, she will be alright after starting these drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
