Patient: SIR  i am affect with asthama , i consult with my doctore, he told me 6 month take motack lc and inhalder.now 12 month compleled. now i suffering very breathing problem. now i am working out of my home city. now i take the same tablet and inhalder last 1 week . its any broblem will come Doctor: Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.It is very important to understand asthma. Montack LC and inhalers control the symptoms but they do not "cure" asthma. Again, there are two types of inhalers - controller and rescue. I would highly recommend you to know the type of your inhaler. Controller inhalers are to be used daily on regular basis. While rescue inhalers are to be used when you have symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing despite using controller medicines. (Montack is also a controller medicine).SO the inhaler that you are using is not a rescue type, I would suggest you to purchase salbutamol inhaler which you should keep with you while away from your city. You can use it when you have symptoms.Regarding duration of asthma treatment, it is determined by activity of asthma. Allergy & asthma are dynamic, they tend to improve or worsen with time. So decision regarding decreasing your drugs and inhalers can only be taken by your physician after asking you about your symptoms. So please do not stop/decrease drugs by yourself.I would also suggest you regular breathing exercises and avoidance of smoke, dust & air pollution. This will help you in a long run.Hope this will be helpful to you.Wish you the best of the health.Regards.
