Was On Course Of Steroids And Inhaler Fostair. Had Wheezing So Took Ventolin Twice. Suggest
Hi I was on a course of steroids (prednisolone) last week to deal with elevated asthma symptoms, I was also put on a new inhaler fostair, I completed taking the steroids on Wednesday last week and have been taking the fostair as directed by my GP, yesterday I had a lot of wheezing so took my ventolin twice. Last night I experienced some urinary incontinence whilst sleeping, it woke me almost instantly but it was already too late. I'm a 28 year old female who is fit and healthy and takes regular exercise. So this is worrying

Hi
Ventoline is salbutamol a potent muscle relaxant and bronchodilator. With its use one can probably experience some smooth muscle relaxation that can lead to urinary incontinence so there is no big fear of a new worry but just a side effect of the treatment for your asthma considering your age of 28 year old who is fit , healthy and takes regular exercise
Thanks
