When Stephen was first diagnosed with mild persistent asthma, he was sometimes discouraged because his asthma symptoms would keep him from doing the things he enjoyed like riding his bike or working in the garden.
Now Stephen uses PULMICORT FLEXHALER to help keep his asthma under control. He uses his rescue inhaler twice a week or less. In addition:
- He has few daytime symptoms
- He has no nighttime awakenings due to asthma
- He is able to engage in normal activities
- His doctor has told him that he has normal lung function
Taking his inhaler just twice a day has really made a difference for Stephen. And he is not alone. A study has shown that PULMICORT FLEXHALER users see continued improvement in their breathing over 12 weeks and significantly reduce their albuterol rescue inhaler use. PULMICORT FLEXHALER won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms.
