Along with inhalers start N acetyl cystine (NAC).

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the drug list you have mentioned.
In my opinion, you should start N acetyl cystine (NAC) along with other inhalers.
NAC is Pulmonary anti oxidant useful in chronic lung conditions like bronchitis, cancer etc.
So start NAC.
