Are children who take inhaled corticosteroids in order to control their asthma at higher risk for...?
Premature stunting of their growth, osteopenia, hypoadrenalism or other adverse effects associated with long-term use of corticosteroids? Why or why not?
Answer by The Above Normal
I don't know. Why don't you ask this in the health section?
Answer by !*****!
No, I took those for and few years when I was 6-9 and it did not stunt my growth. I don't have asthma anymore.
Answer by Know It All
It looks like corticosteroids have this effect on growth. I don't know about the other effects.
Answer by Canadian Christian *formerly BEC
I don't know enough about how corticosteroids affect the rest of the body to answer that.
Why do you keep asking medical questions in the Gender & Women's Studies section? Are you trying to flex your brain muscles and show off or something? Most of us here aren't doctors so we can't answer. You should know that, given the title of this section.
