No two people are a like and asthma treatment does varry from person to person. The patient will have to work with the doctor to determine the most effective treatment plan for them. That can take a while.
After years of my husband's asthma being out of controll, resulting in several trips to the emergency room yearly, we found advair. It has worked wonders for him. If you want to try it, have your doctor presecribe it to you and then you can go here: http://www.advair.com/index.html. There is a printable coupon to get your first 1 month supply for free. After that you can go back each month and print a coupon for a savings as well. He has been under controll now for the last 2 years.
