Steroids are used to treat lung inflammation that can occur in emphysema. But steroids cannot correct the underlying problem, which is that many of the alveoli have collapsed so there is less gas exchange.
They block inflammation and are effective in relieving symptoms of Asthma. When steroids are taken by inhalation for a long period, asthma attacks become less frequent as the airways become less sensitive to allergens.
Helps control a lot better, I was able to breath and run minutes after taking it. Helped me a lot. I now do not have asthma attacks at all, used to have one every other day

Steroids in asthma medication will not cause sterility. They are nowhere near strong enough. The steroids reduce the swelling. They let other medicine get to its target. When the steroids end, the effects go away. As a result steroids are quick fixes but not long term solutions.

No, steroids used for the treatment of asthma are not the same as testosterone. Asthma attacks often have two phases, the initial attack then a recurrence a few hours later. Using the wrong type of steroid (like testosterone or anabolic steroids for sports/bodybuilding) in the place of an inhaled corticosteroid (albuterol, etc) could result in death if either attack were serious enough.
There is not steroids in asthma, but different steroids hormones are used to help fight against asthma. Some puffers contains a small mineral-corticoid or gluco-corticoid, (depending on condition) which when inhaled, is absorbed by the alveoli and capillaries inside your lungs. Depending on the situation, the hormone may cause your bronchioles to contract or relax, or the hormone may help your body with mucus regulation, helping you breathe.
Yes it does. The steroid works to open the airways that are blocked due to asthma.
Inhaled corticosteriods are steroids that are inhaled which help to treat asthma. They are anti-inflammatory medication which improves the control of asthma, reducing coughing for example.
Well humidifiers are not the best choice for asthma sufferers. Some humidifiers contain steroids If the sufferer is young, the steroids will make them hungry, and lead to eating too much. I used to have asthma. I used an inhaler, and worked out a lot. Eventually my symptoms never came back.
Leukotriene modifiers are among a newer type of drug that can be used in place of steroids, for older children or adults who have a mild degree of persistent asthma.
You have to go and see your regular doctor and ask for a medical prevaricate case and you can then do the full set.
There are several home treatment options for asthma. From simple inhalers with both long and short-acting steroids to daily medication, such as steroids or other broncho-dilating pills, these are the simpler and quicker types of treatment. However, there is also the nebulizer, which is a "breathing treatment" and can be utilized at home.
