   Are steroid tablets bad for asthma?

   • Steroid tablets can be lifesaving, but as our severe asthma report shows, they can have side effects, particularly if you’re taking higher doses over a long period of time. It might be reassuring to know that your doctor will always aim to prescribe the lowest steroid dose for good control to minimise any side effects.

   Do steroid tablets treat asthma?

   • The steroids used in steroid tablets to treat asthma are called corticosteroids. These are a copy of steroids the body produces naturally, to deal with injury or inflammation. They are not the same as the steroids bodybuilders use. You’re most likely to be prescribed oral steroids if you have a flare up of your symptoms or an asthma attack.

   Do steroid inhalers help with asthma?

   • The steroids in your inhaler prevent certain types of inflammation from building up in your airways. Take your steroid inhaler every day as prescribed, even when you feel well. It means your airways will be less inflamed, so you're less likely to have a flare-up of your COPD, asthma symptoms, or an asthma attack.
