Inhaled steroids are safe.

She was just a seasonal Asthmatic without any complications when i first diagnosed her and put her on inhaled steroids. Today when she met me after an year she has become a perennial asthma patient , She had not started the inhaler at all because she feared that inhalers would harm her badly , they would make her short stature and fat etc etc.
some of the friends also gave her the advise not to take inhalers but to go on homeopathy and many other modes exept steroids.
She kept on pulling on as her problem was only seasonal. She had the false sense of security that alternate therapies were curing her till she got into severe attack during the season requiring hospitalization. And now she wheezes throughout the year.
Now she has understood that inhaled steroid is the cornerstone of Asthma treatment.
Inhaled steroids do not have side effects if taken in prescribed doses. They do not retard growth , nor do they cause high blood pressure , diabetes or cataract .
Inhaled steroids are the safest and surest method of letting the anti inflammatory medicine reach the airway where the effect is desired.
Regular and systematic use of inhaled steroids would heal the airways , thus emergency visits would be minimised and potentially harmful drugs like Asthalin and steroids by mouth or injections and nubulisations for emergencies would not be required. Be in control of Asthma with inhaled steroids and improve your quality of life!
Seasonal Asthma is treated in pre seasonal period when you are healthy , it can be prevented and cured with proper treatment.
