hi welcome to HCM
it is not correct that once you start inhaler you wont be able to stop
the main idea of prescribing inhaled medications is - low dose medications could be used when compared to oral medication which have many side effects though the later are cheaper,and secondly the site of action of medications will be in lung itself
regarding your query your uncle might be initially having intermittent asthma later on when it got converted to persistent asthma he might have been prescribed on formonide.
regarding your case your doctor might step down your therapy from formonide based on your response to therapy and your symptoms
hope you got your answer
with warm regards
