Re: Steroids for Asthma
If your having chest problems and especially breathing problems you need to see your doctor asap.Re: Steroids for Asthma
Yes Susie darlin' I echo that - you need urgent medical attention. If you are Asthmatic, you may be given an inhaler, some of which actually contain a steroid. The usual one is Clenil (its brown in colour). Each type of inhaler has a different colour!!!Re: Steroids for Asthma
Susie, l am prone to getting Asthma at night when l go to bed or if l come in contact with heavy perfumes and aftershaves. The perfumed household air freshners are the worst!Re: Steroids for Asthma
Susie I know you are diabetic but not sure if you have asthma. I don't have asthma, but when I have a bad chest infection, my doctor will give me Ventolin, to help open my tubes and allow me to cough up the mucus that lodges in them. This means I don't always need anti biotics and can manage deeper breaths.Re: Steroids for Asthma
Hi Susie what kind of steroids, there are oral steroids like prednisone which are used for short time acute flareup, then there are inhaled steroids for long term use.Re: Steroids for Asthma
I have COPD and for that I use an Anoro inhaler. It is much better than Ventolin and Becotide as it is an all-in-one inhaler. The device is in measured doses used once a day. No need for shaking it, I just remove the sliding lid and the dose as ready. It has a counter on it too, so one knows exactly how many days use is left. A very convenient device but not advised for asthma.Re: Steroids for Asthma
