Maxiflo is good choice. If still there is wheezing then
1. Review your inhale technique and correct it in case of inappropriate technique.
2. Look for other conditions like gastric reflux, anxietry, rhinitis. Obesity
3. If no comorbid condition, then review the dosing.
Next Steps
can consult online to pulmonologist

As such maxiflo is a very good inhaler for maintenance therapy. More details are needed to know if you need to change, how long you have been taking this, what are the other medicines youre taking?
Is your technique in taking the inhaler correct?
