Reactive airways disease is a term that is often used to describe asthma. Qvar™ Inhaler (
beclomethasoneBeclomethasone
Beclomethasone dipropionate
Beclomethasone nasal dipropionate HFA) is a good medicine for treating asthma but is more
effectiveEffective strength cough syrup when used with a long-acting bronchodilator medicine, such as Serevent® Diskus® (
salmeterolSalmeterol
Salmeterol-fluticasone xinafoate inhalation powder). If after a couple of weeks of using the Qvar™ Inhaler (beclomethasone dipropionate HFA), your breathing is no better, you should ask your doctor about adding a bronchodilator to your treatment. Also confirm with him/her that the diagnosis truly is asthma and ask what the evidence is for the diagnosis.
Your breathing problem is a treatable condition and when optimally treated, you should be able to exercise and otherwise lead a normal life.
Good luck.
