My understanding is these medicines are different. Flovent is a steroid. Pulmicort is a much stronger steroid. Adair is Flovent plus a long acting version of albuterol. Ad air would theoretically work best if on your PFTs you have a significant improvement in fev1 after albuterol. One hospital said 12% fev1 improvement meant albuterol was affective. Theoretically if you have lots of inflammation Pulmicort is strongest. If you have not done PFTs before and after albuterol ask to do so so you know how much reversible restriction you have as part of your lung disease.

best wishes

We're not you. This post is kind of silly. Ask your doctor for samples and try it out for yourself. Also keep in mind unless you have have minimal mucus, the inhaled corticosteroids will do minimal things for you as it needs to land on the airway smooth muscle to actually work.
