Do I have fear of cortisone?
The fear of side effects of cortisone is large in many people but at the current state of research mostly unfounded.
Because cortisone is the drug with the help of metered dose inhaled, it goes directly to the right place, namely the mucous membranes of the bronchi in the lungs. Beginning to reach low doses to achieve the improvement of the disease. In comparison with cortisone tablets almost no more medication gets into your blood.
The regular (usually every morning and every evening inhaling) and proper use of medication is very important.
After inhalation of cortisone, it is useful to drink, to eat or to brush his teeth, so no drug residues remain in the mouth, as in sensitive people can thus form a thrush (fungal infection).
The inhaled cortisone does not help immediately! It takes some time (often 10 to 14 days) until the effect occurs and the patient also noticed the improvement.
Cortisone is the most effective drug to counteract the inflammatory reactions in asthma (the very basis of the disease that is) counter.
If only one or irregular income of the active ingredient passes through an incorrect inhalation technique is not sufficient at the site of action (in the respiratory tract) worsened the clinical picture more and more. As a result of respiratory distress occurs and the emergency spray to be inhaled bronchodilator more often.
What can patients do provide support to improve my asthma?
Take part in asthma training.
Do you (after consultation with the doctor) Sports, for example moderate endurance sports.
Learn breathing exercises and breathing techniques like the "pursed lip" applies.
Remember that smoking irritates the airways and additional damages. By quitting smoking you increase the effectiveness of the medication.

Helps the desensitization in allergic asthma?
With a moderate (mild to moderate), allergic asthma, an immunotherapy (specific immunotherapy) may be performed. The treatment can be done only if the asthma is well controlled and effective therapeutic drugs (for allergy desensitization of the special release) are available. The immunotherapy may be particularly effective if there are additional symptoms of allergic nose and eyes. Particularly good results are achieved in younger patients with clearly diagnosed allergy triggers. Many years and older with asthma, by achieving the anti-asthmatic drugs and only a slight relief from their symptoms not only allergies, but also by other factors such as odors or cold are triggered eligible for desensitization of the question. These patients are at risk patients who may experience unwanted side effects of immunotherapy and the treatment shows little effect.
