Do asthma medicines help people who don’t have asthma?
No. If someone who does not have asthma takes asthma medicines, they will not feel any better. Asthma medicines can not make you “high”. If you don’t have asthma, taking asthma medicines will not make you breathe better, or exercise better or do better in sports. Asthma medicines will only help people who have asthma. Will the steroids used to treat asthma affect my child’s ability to have babies? No. The steroids used to treat asthma do not affect a person’s ability to get pregnant and have babies. In fact, most asthma medicines are safe to take during pregnancy and do not harm the unborn baby.
