hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
levelin contains levosalbutamol it is a bronchodilator not a steroid
maxiflo contain fluticasone it is a steroid , but these steroids are locally acting on respiratory system not causing any adverse effects on other system.
they are very safe to use , and you can start on them
