A member asked:

If i take regular nasonex/ and steriod inhalors due asthma , regularly will it cause some side effects? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Steroid inhalers: Steroid inhalers have minimal systemic side effects but locally they can cause increased monilial infections in the throat and pharyngeal bacterial infections also. Chronic use of nasal inhalers, may dry the mucosal and cause bleeding problems.
