In addition they were given either Serevent or a placebo. For some of them, the amount of inhaled steroids was first cut in half, and then eliminated. The team of researchers, led by Robert F. Lemanske Jr., MD from the University of Wisconsin Children's Hospital, found that when patients received Serevent, their inhaled steroid dose could be cut in half without any problems. However, if the steroids were completely eliminated, people had trouble breathing and their quality of life decreased. This research shows that Serevent really can't be used alone in the management of chronic asthma.
Inhaled steroids are highly effective and very safe.
