A member asked:

Will dulera (formoterol and mometasone) without a doubt cause a false negative on a methacholine challenge ?

It could: It could potentially cause a false negative methacholine test. Even asthma patients taking no medications for a while could potentially have a negative methacholine test for various reasons. That's why it is best to diagnose asthma based on symptoms and not a methacholine test.
