Equivalent dosages?

2 Replies

Just out of curiosity really, but how do the different types of steroid inhalers compare to each other?

Is there a 'stronger' (for want of a better word) type?

Because i've seen a few times posted around the boards about equivalents to beclamethasone and wondered how it worked?

With me it's not the inhaler dosage I have to look out for, it's the effect that the steroids have on my body. I'm allergic to steroids and even the miniscule doses contained in inhalers cause extreme oedema, resulting in unwanted pressure on all my organs.

So a prize for the first person to find a treatment for chronic asthma that's steroid free!

There's a table of equivalent doses here: tinyurl.com/ygq9nqr
