Dr. Powlin Manuel answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Side effects, yes!: Good morning, yes, there are side effects from use of inhalers; repeated use in excess could be dangerous. Avoid allergens, if possible. Preventive steroid inhalers needs to be added. Talk to your doctor for review.
