Anybody suffers from seasonal asthma and use inhaler on demand?

[ahfat41]

I suffer from seasonal winter asthma. Currently on mart regimen fostair nexthaler 100/6 twice a day. Previously was on becotide twice a day and ventolin as required. I usually stopped taking them before summer and start again beginning of autumn. My mum told me this combi should be taken all year round and not on demand. I remembered at my annual review I agree to change from becotide to nexthaler as the asthma specialist told me I can take it on demand. If this is not the case and my mum is right I do not want to take a combi inhaler all the time and will ask to be put back on becotide and ventolin. I was assured that the nexthaler fostair is the way forward. My asthma is mild and well controlled it only bothers me in winter. Just would like some thoughts before I book my annual review and it is not easy to get appointment now. Thanks.
