HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you have asthma attacks only once yearly and there are no other asthma related symptoms such as night time or early morning cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, then you may not need daily use of the seroflo.

You should go to your doctor for reassessment to see if your medication can be stepped down since you are in control.

There are some persons who require the inhaler for the long run and it is beneficial since it ensures that the asthma is controlled.
The risks of using it are less than the risks of uncontrolled asthma for most persons.

I hope this helps
