Hi I am having using foracort 200 from last 5 years as I am suffering from asthma can you suggest any tablet and is this curable.

Question

Dear Lybrate user, ASTHMA is best treated by INHALED MEDICINES (Inhalers, Rotainhalers) INHALED MEDICINES are good medicines to control, manage & treat ASTHMA. As a Pulmonologist I feel you have the best opinion. Tablets, Syrups will have side effects in long run, but INHALED MEDICINES can be used for life, without side effects. But you do need an individualised treatment program, which includes reducing drug doses whenever you are better, Vaccination to prevent Seasonal & Serious Infections and Rehabilitation in form of Breathing exercises, diet etc. Kindly contact on Lybrate Consultation Platform for better understanding your health requirements and treatment advice. Wishing you a Good Health.
