Getting chicken pox and using steroid inhalers. is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: You can reduce any chance that you will have extra steroid in your blood and amplifying your cpx by using the inhaler properly and washing out your mouth with water and spitting the material out.The steroid activity occurs at the lung tissue level and is not drawn into the circulation.
