Can taking steroids in asthma inhalers long term cause decline in lung function?

This will depend on the reason for the inhaler and the cause of the asthma. Discuss with your Dr to be certain you need the steroid one all the time. Many just need it or a flare. You may want to spend $20 for a 1 week access to uptodate.com and read all the information there. The print out their Basics and Beyond the Basics for your files and reference in future.
