<human>: Hi,I live with asthma for past 15Yrs. I have been asked to use Full form 200 daily by doctor. Though I couldn t use daily, I use whenever I feel asthma symptom. Recently my doctor asked me use formonide 200 instead of Fullform.I feel Fullform is better than Formonide. Can you suggest which one is better? Manikandan.G, Chennai
<bot>: Hello Manikandan. G 1. Full form 200 contains Beclomethasone (a portico steroid) + Formoterol (a bronchi dilator).2. Hormone contains Budesonide(a portico steroid) + Formoterol (a bronchi dilator). Both the preparations act in the similar way to provide relief in Asthma....i.e. by reducing the inflammation & causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs. However, if you feel that you get better relief with the use of Full form, then you can consult your treating physician & discuss regarding this matter. Wishing you a Healthy Life. Take care.
