Are medicines for asthma safe and effective?
Within the last 2 decades, there has been a significant increased awareness about asthma and its treatment options. Although there is a lot of attention in the media regarding steroids, inhaled steroids remain the mainstay of treatment to help prevent and control asthma symptoms. These medicines are used safely and effectively to help children and adults lead full and normal lives without interference from their asthma. Although asthma can be a frightening and overwhelming disease, most of the time, it does not have to be. With the help of a pediatric pulmonologist, medical therapy, asthma education, trigger avoidance and an asthma action plan, patients can take full control of their asthma and their lives. If you or your child, have any of these symptoms, or you think you might need further evaluation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
