Inhaled Steroids: Are they SAFE & EFFECTIVE for kids? Dr Ankit Parakh, Child Chest Specialist

Inhaled corticosteroids are considered to be the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment for long-term management of persistent asthma. The benefits of inhaled steroids are much more compared to any possible minor side effects. Inhaled steroids reduce the frequency of asthma attacks, reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations, improve daily symptoms of cough, wheezing & breathlessness, reduce the need for bronchodilators and improve lung functions. Inhaled steroids compared to oral corticosteroids have significantly fewer side effects compared to oral steroids. Hence, inhaled steroids are safe and effective for long term treatment of asthma.
