corticosteroid inhalers

Corticosteroid inhalers are medications used to reduce inflammation in the airways of the lungs, helping to control and prevent asthma symptoms and chronic lung conditions. They work by decreasing swelling and mucus production, making it easier to breathe. These inhalers are used daily for long-term management and are different from quick-relief inhalers, which provide immediate relief during asthma attacks. Proper use and consistent dosing are important for effectiveness. While generally safe, they may cause side effects like sore throat or hoarseness, which can often be minimized by rinsing the mouth after use.
