Arms	Assigned Interventions
Maintenance treatment with SYMBICORT and SYMBICORT as needed: Experimental Maintenance treatment with SYMBICORT and using the same inhaler with SYMBICORT as needed	Other: Spirometry, PEF measurements and diary cards to evaluate control of Asthma No intervention is made with the existing therapy, but patient will perform spirometry and PEF evaluations togehter with a registration of control of asthma in diary cards and health economic parameters in questionnaires
Stable dosing with SERETIDE, short acting B-2agonist as needed: Experimental Regular treatment with SERETIDE in a stable dosing with short acting beta-2 agonists as needed	Other: Spirometry, PEF measurements and diary cards to evaluate control of Asthma No intervention is made with the existing therapy, but patient will perform spirometry and PEF evaluations togehter with a registration of control of asthma in diary cards and health economic parameters in questionnaires

Detailed Description:

The purpose with this study is to describe in detail the control or lack of control of asthma, based on two different dosing strategies. No therapy intervention is made with existing prescribed medications (SERETIDE or SYMBICORT), but evaluations outside standard care is made by avluations with diary cards, questionnaires, PEF evaluations and spirometry which is regarded as the intervention by the Swedish Authorities.
