A member asked:
Does an inhaled corticosteroid (for asthma) have the same side effects as an oral (liquid) corticosteroid? yes or no? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Oral corticosteroids can result in immunosuppression body wide. Inhaled steroid for asthma only affects the linings of the bronchial tubes and lung.
