A member asked:
Is asthma curable? i am having light asthma since 22 years. now i take forcart 100 mg daily which helps to keep normal breathing.how to reduce it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
