Is it ok to take these three asthma meds at the same time?

I have an appointment in 2 weeks with my primary doctor, but I was prescribed these medications by a different doctor who was filling in... albuterol (the emergency inhaler), Singulair (I take 10mg once every night), and one puff twice a day of Dulera with a chamber (I always rinse afterwards). It seems like a lot of meds. I’ve been on Singulair and albuterol for a few weeks, and I’ve been taking Dulera for about a week now. I guess I’m just worried that those meds shouldn’t be taken as much as I’m taking them/together in the first place.

I think you can use that inhaler with other medicines. But regarding others, I can't tell much. But It would be a great idea to concern with your local doctor or specialist who can tell you whether you should continue both medicine or not. Besides that, you can try some home-based air humidifier machine(can be found in stores like "saline therapy") at home as natural Asthma treatment.
