A compound used in the leading brand of asthma inhaler can make the allergy worse, as per scientists. Millions of people suffering from asthma make use of inhalers also known as salbutamol or salbuterol for getting relief from wheezing and also use inhaled steroids for preventing occurrence of the condition.
It was feared by the scientists that a compound in Ventolin inhalers can react with steroids that are used for preventing asthma attacks.
From News-Medical.Net:
Millions of asthma sufferers use the inhalers also known as salbutamol or salbuterol to provide relief from wheeziness, as well as inhaled steroids to prevent the condition occurring. But the chemical byproduct in Ventolin inhalers may weaken the steroids’ anti-inflammatory effect.
The findings were revealed to a meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in San Francisco yesterday.
It was remarked by Dr Mark Aronica, of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio that clinical studies in future would be required if this is the case.
