Hi,
1. Foracort rotacaps are usually taken for a long time- around two and half to three months and then depending upon your symptoms they can be tapered off.
2. Foracort is better because it is basically for relieving the long term symptoms. As for your acute symptoms (if you have anytime), then you can take asthalin.
Foracort basically inhibits the chemical inflammation in the airways and helps in breathing comfortably.Since your doctor has prescribed it after examining you, you must continue taking it regularly for it to be effective. Make sure your technique is right so that you get the maximum benefit.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
