Inhalers are safe since medicine goes directly into lungs. There is no habit formation Tablets and syrups go into blood and then reach lungs Delay and side effects since they flow in blood. No substitute for zfiracort Tablets such as Deriphyllin and salbutamol May be taken after. Consulting doctor.
