Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

Brovana ((arformoterol tartrate) is a B2 agonist which acts by causing dilatation of airways and reduces wheezing. Its very much useful in management of wheezing of asthma. Budesonide is a Steroid and acts by anti-inflammatory action decreasing the hyper reactitivity of airway. This helps by reducing the attacks of asthma. Combined use of both drugs will be beneficial in management of Asthma.
I would also advise Steam inhalation 10-15 minutes each session twice a day which will also help humidify airway and prevent bronchospasm.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take Care
