Inhaled steroids in asthma
Abstract
Inhaled steroids are the mainstay of anti-inflammatory treatment of asthma. Topical application of steroids to the asthmatic airway has many benefits as well as potential side effects; however, the side effects are much less prevalent than those caused by the use of chronic oral prednisone.
