If you feel you are having issues related to your medication, you should consult the doctor who prescribed that particular medication.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Looks like the inhaler is not controlling your symptoms. You may need to consult your doctor for a change in dose or medication. During the attack, asthalin inhalers are used. Asthalin is used only during the attack and is not used for prevention. In the meantime try to take warm oral fluids and do steam inhalations prior to your meals. This helps to loosen up and bring out the secretions.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
