Hi. Thanks for the query. Duolin 5-6 times is too much. It means your disease is not controlled. Please check your inhalation technique for seroflo and take it two puffs twice daily. Also add inhaler tiate two puff once daily and tab deriphyllin 150 8 hourly. If not controlled on these then you may take a short course of oral steroid. Get AEC and total IgE done. A brief warm up before tennis play will help you.

First get a PFT done to decide between asthma and copd as treatment is different.Increase dose of seroflo 250 2puff twice/day.Duolin 2 puff 15 mts before tennis can be taken.Taking duolin 5-6/day is not good. Kindly get your severity assessed and dose of medicine adjusted.For good control of asthma you should not require duolin more then once/week.
