Does Long Term Use Rotacap For Asthma Affects Any Organ?
i have asthma from childhood.in my mid fifties episodes became more frequent.prescribed foracort 400 morning and night.helped control the attacks.now take only 1 rotacap at night.it has been 5 years now since i am on this drug.does it have any effect on the heart and other organs.
But, the adverse effects are only when we take oral doses (tablets). In your case, cortisteroid taken by inhaler, will act locally. So, side effects are very minimal.
Only concerned side effect that may occur in you is oral ulcers (oral candidiasis). You can protect your self from this side effect by thorough mouth wash after taking the rotacap. This will cleans up the drug present in the oral cavity.
It donot have any side effects on heart or any other organs. You can continue the medication.

Does Long Term Use Rotacap For Asthma Affects Any Organ?
Thank you for your question, I understand your concern. Medication in Foracort is corticosteroid. It is given for members with severe asthma. Corticosteroids usually have number of adverse effects like immunosuppression, osteoporosis, fat redistribution, easy bruising etc. But, the adverse effects are only when we take oral doses (tablets). In your case, cortisteroid taken by inhaler, will act locally. So, side effects are very minimal. Only concerned side effect that may occur in you is oral ulcers (oral candidiasis). You can protect your self from this side effect by thorough mouth wash after taking the rotacap. This will cleans up the drug present in the oral cavity. It donot have any side effects on heart or any other organs. You can continue the medication.
