I'm currently on tiotropium, taking 1 capsule a day for inhalation, along with avessa 250 rotocaps, oxybro capsules, and glemont f capsules. I'm a bit worried and just wondering if any of these could be harmful to me or if they contain steroids. Could you give me some info about these medicines?

Can I switch from using Formonide 200 Respicap to the Formonide 200 puff inhaler? I mainly deal with asthma issues during hot summers, but I'm usually fine for about 10 months of the year. Just wondering if making this switch might help or if I should stick to what I'm currently using. What's the difference and any pros or cons I should know about?

yes you can use it
