May 16, 2007 -- Twice-daily whiffs of steroid drugs may become a thing of the past for people with mild but persistent asthma, two new studies suggest. Once a person gets mild asthma under control, current treatment guidelines suggest keeping it under control with two daily doses of a steroid inhaler. While the inhalers are safe in the short term, there's worry about the long-term side effects of daily steroid treatments. And many patients simply forget to take their medication properly. Now a 500-patient study from the American Lung Association shows that once-daily treatment with an inhaler that combines a steroid with a long-acting bronchodilator (Advair) works as well as using a steroid inhaler (Flovent) twice a day in patients with asthma that is well controlled. Patients on either treatment had a 20% chance of treatment failure -- that is, an asthma attack requiring urgent medical attention. secrets of winning roulette playing cards casino is online gambling illegal in illinois bus gambling tours houston-lake charles
