A member asked:
Recently diagnosed with small airway disease and prescribed an inhaler. should i be worried that i appear to need to use it daily (once or more)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on med: If using a rescue inhaler, like albuterol, could benefit from a regular dose steroid / long-acting / combo inhaler to reduce need for other. Write down time when using inhaler ; then take to your dr. For review and medication optimization.
