Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Answer is YES. Dexona comes under category of corticosteroids, which on longterm use leads to Cushings syndrome.
You have the latest modalities of treatment available now, consult a good chest physician/pulmonologist.
You can use combination of Formoterol+Budesonide rotacaps(FORACORT) which is highly effective and safe even if you use it for life long.
Other combinations best suits for you are -
Salmetorol+fluticasone
