Yes - but it is being promoted as an ADD ON to steroids if these are not
controlling your asthma (which make a change from how Salmeterol started).
They also appear to be less effective than standard doses of steroids from
what I have manged to read of them. Why have all the patients I saw (well
only two) with newspaper clippings think that they were going to
revolutionise their asthma and also get them off their steroids. I thought
reporters were supposed to be skilled at informing.
