 All patients will be contacted by telephone at 7 days. They will be followed for 28 days or until they relapse, whichever comes first. Relapse will be defined as any unscheduled physician visit for worsening asthma symptoms. At the time of telephone follow-up patients will be asked about symptoms as well as about compliance with their study medications see data collection sheet. At the return visit on day 28 they will be asked to bring their medication with them to determine compliance. At that time they will also have peak flows obtained and a repeat assessment of the quality of life scale.
