I'm 23 and have had issues with bronchitis in the past. I used to rely on an Asthaline inhaler whenever I felt breathless. A few months ago, I went to a different doctor who gave me Formonide 200, and I found it worked way better than Asthaline. I haven't needed Asthaline since I started using Formonide, but yesterday I needed it again and it didn't give me long-term relief. I'm curious about why Asthaline isn't as effective anymore and if I should stick with Formonide or consider something else. What do you think?

It seems that your bronchitis symptoms may have worsened or changed over time. While **Formonide 200** (a steroid inhaler) may provide better long-term relief, the **Asthaline inhaler** (a bronchodilator) is used for immediate symptom relief but may not provide sustained effects. I recommend discussing your symptoms with your doctor, as a long-term management plan with the appropriate medication may be needed.Last updated on 22 Jan 2025
