Oral Steroids
Sometimes asthma flare-ups cannot be controlled with your inhaled corticosteroid medicine. You may be prescribed an add-on corticosteroid therapy in a pill or liquid form, often taken for 3-5 days.
Remember to check with your local pharmacy on how to dispose of unwanted/expired medication, including asthma devices.
