My mom has been using beclate 200 rotacap 0-0-1, omnacortil 5 mg 1/2-0-1/2, deriphyllin retard 150 1/2-0-1/2 daily since 20 years for her asthma ,since her bones have become weak now the Dr. Has prescribed foracort 400 inhaler 2-0-2, deriphyllin 150 1/2-0-1/2 daily. Should she take foracort 400 or she should take 100 or 200 instead of 400. Or should she use beclate inhaler instead of rotacaps as after taking foracort 400 she is not feeling energetic .no other side effects are seen since she started in last 20 days.

Bette ravoid omnacortil which can weaken bone. Using inhalar/rotacaps is patient choice. Also using 400/200/100 foracort inhalation depends upon achieving good control.
