Does Qvar, Used For Treating Asthma, Have A Rebounding Effect, When Discontinued?

I have asthma, have had it since I was a child(I m 47 now) I am using a rescue inhale as needed and the seravent discus 2x s daily and Qvar 2 puffs 2x s daily. My medications are expensive and sometimes I cannot afford them before they run out. When I stop the qvar my asthma is really bad again but only for a few days then things relax. Is Qvar known to have a rebound effect when discontinued?

Hi and welcome in HCM

I can understand your concern

No do not worry Qvar does not have rebounding effect at all.
