Speaking as someone who used to be dependent on medications like Albuterol, Advair, Pulmicort, and Symbicort ever since his prepubescent years-- my asthma only got better when I forced myself to stop using my medications. I would only allow myself to use my meds if my episodes were sufficiently severe, otherwise I would push through the discomfort until the airways reopened naturally. I did this for several weeks and gradually my need for the meds went completely away. When I was using the meds I used to have asthma episodes multiple times every day, and now I only have minor episodes once every few weeks which I'm able to recover from without meds. I am currently in the process of cutting out my topical steroids for my eczema as well. In my lived experience of these drugs, steroid dependency is absolutely a real phenomenon.

The information that comes with my asthma steroids says differently. It states that use of their medication can actually increase my chance of getting pneumonia.

Don’t they divert amino acids and turn them into glucose? As a body builder this is very concerning

USA now taking Canada’s med supply. I was just told I can only get my monthly inhalers once every 3 months. I will have to abandon my twice a day prevention. ERs up here are refusing asthma patients as non emergent!

If possible you should try to find out about what causes the Inflamation in the first place, ie food, environment, pollution maybe you can adjust your lifestyle by avoiding some foods or chemicals eg Sodium Nitrate etc.

I wish you would’ve mentioned something about people with asthma that may be taking the wrong amount. Too much or too frequent. Especially because they’re mostly self administering.

The one long term side effect is osteoporosis which to me is scary but without it I’d be dead or really sick so the benefits outweigh the negatives

I just began the use of my first dulera inhaler since I was 7 years old and only took oral medication and I am wondering if I should keep using my inhaler until finish or discontinue after feeling better. I’ve had lots of shortness of breath lately after never requiring any asthma medications since my childhood. I am now 44 years young. If anyone has information I’d gladly like to hear. Thanks!!!!!

Thank you for the explanation. If 2 times a day for the ICS, is it 12 hrs apart?

Wait so if there is no dependency then keep taking it? Seems circular. I'm trying to lower my dose.

Inhaled steroids can cause Glaucoma

Hi dr, I have a question that may seem a bit strange, but if you can just provide me with an answer I would really appreciate it. If someone takes prednisone lower than 0.50 mg like for example 0.30 mg a day, will this cause serious side effects in the long run?
