No: In general, asthma after age 7 years will likely be a life-long problem although the symptoms may fluctuate from time to time. I presume forcart is a drug purchased outside of the us and that it is an inhaled steroid. You should only reduce it under a physician's supervision guided by your history, the physical exam findings, and lung function test.
