With the history you have given its better to get reevaluated for your symptoms , you might need to step up therapy for better symptom control. Now answering your question , yes formonide is safe to use as you are using the inhaled form and there is no systemic absorption of the drug .
Next Steps
You should consult a chest physician for further evaluation
