Listen to your docot: I assume you are concerned about steroid inhalers. But these are the foundation of therapy for recurrent, persistent asthma (occurring more than 2 days per week or 2 nights per month). It targets the inflammation in the airways which can actually eventually damage the tissue. Treatment with inhaled steroids helps patients maintain their lung function.

No...: Systemic steroids can cause weight gain but inhaled steroids are used because very little of it goes systemically, thus avoiding this side-effect.
