[|Human|] My daughter has been placed on Qvar for a long time now. I read everywhere that it is for people that need to take their rescue inhalers at least twice a week. My daughter rarely takes it more than four times a year. Why do they keep putting her on this?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Var inhaler is having beclomethasone. It is inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). It is first line treatment for asthma. Furthermore, it is anti-inflammatory and hence it is preventer medicine. Your daughter might be having asthma. She is not having any symptoms at present, so her asthma is controlled with this inhaler. You are talking about rescue inhaler which is used in emergency situations where asthma is not controlled by preventer inhaler. So better to continue var in your daughter as it has controlled her asthma. Give her for 1 year, and then we can taper it down. Don't worry, she will be. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
