For bronchial asthma, continue using Formoflo 250 Transhaler (Fluticasone and Formoterol) twice daily. For quick relief during flare-ups, your doctor may recommend a short-acting inhaler such as salbutamol. Depending on severity, your doctor may also consider additional options, including leukotriene receptor antagonists like montelukast, higher-strength inhaled corticosteroids, or biologic therapies such as omalizumab. Regular follow-up is essential to adjust treatment and monitor your lung function.
