    I am in the US, and I found out by chance that azitromycin diminished my dependence on inhaled corticoids. There have been clinical trials at the University of Wisconsin since early in this decade with successful results. It seems that up to 50% of adult on set asthma is caused by bacteria and it can be reversed. I am on my third week of treatment. I had taken symbicort and singulair daily, I am only taking singulair now. I can ride my bike with no need to use a short acting inhaler and I can even run. This is probably not a typical result. Serious asthma sufferers are encouraged to remain on the control medicines until the end. My GP thought it beat using glucocorticoids and it was no riskier than prescribing antibiotics for acne. I will be taking it for twelve weeks
