Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medications For Ventolin And Advair

I take Ventolin and Advair for asthma. I have also used combivent, but advair and combivent are very expensive. Is Spiriva or Breo an option? I am 73 years old and have had asthma All my life, but it seems to have gotten worse the last 2or 3 years.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Breo is a combination of Fluticazone and a LABA. It is a good combination for asthma. This along with Spiriva would be able to give relief to asthma like the more expensive combinations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Noble Zachariah
