Hi, I think u have allergy to all 3 groups of bronchodilators like steroids,alpha agonists and anticholinergics.
Well if its true then u must undergone allergy sensitivity tests to all the different different drugs of this groups, any drug if it is having no allergy or mild allergy, can be used as a inhalational form.
Second,keep yourself away from the factors who trrigers your asthma.
Immunotherapy and antileucotriens can also help.
Kindly consult pulmonologist for further advise.
