Can I Change Asthalin 100 To Seroflo 250?

I am using Asthalin 100 inhaler for last two years. Earlier I used Seroflow 250 inhaler for 2-3 months which gave me quick relief and I need not take another puff for quite some time with a single puff of Seroflow. Now I am using Asthalin 100 which I need to use quite frequently. Whether I can change to Seroflow 250 now.

Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:

1. Asthalin and Seroflo are different types of inhalers. Asthalin is a "rescue" type of inhaler which is to be used only for asthma symptoms/wheezing/breathlessness.

Seroflo is a "conreoller" type of inhaler which is to be used regularly to prevent asthma symptoms.

2. I do not advise frequent use of Asthalin. If you need to use Asthalin for more than twice a week, I would suggest you to use regular Serflo.

3. Were I treating you, I would also add montelukast in your daily treatment.

4. I would also suggest you allergy testing, regular breathing exercises and avoidance of dusts, smokes and air pollution.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
