COPD: I have moderate copd. I only use Qvar if I get wheezy. Usually in the winter. Should I use it all the time? ANS: this is a complex and important question and issue. I would discuss with your team as they know you best.

Technically...: Qvar and other inhaled steroids are maintenance medications, meaning you take them like you would a cholesterol pill or a high blood pressure pill. You need to use it twice a day, every day to get the full effect.
