See, you are on the right way. You should use it lifetime. But inhaler dose may be changed by doctor. You have to do follow up with chest specialist every 3 month if possible (otherwise once in 6 month is must to review). If I say the comparison of benefit vs side effect, the benefit is much more if you continue it in low dose for lifetime. Yes, chance of pneumonia may be there, but still use it. You are in right tract.

Dear Ms. Lybrate-user, inhaled medicines are best treatment for diseases like asthma, for 3 reasons 1) the drug dose is very low (in micrograms (mcg) compared to tablets which are in milligrams (mg)) 2) the inhaled medicines enter lungs directly and side effects are lowest 3) inhaled medicines act as both relievers (provide relief in case respiratory diseases) & preventer (prevent asthma attacks) and yes they can be taken life time. You can increase your lung capacity by building up stamina (breathing exercises, yoga) under specialist care. Wishing you good health.
