Inhaled Steroids May Cause Eye Problems
Filed in archive Allergy Medications , Asthma , Hay Fever by ruth on August 1, 2006

Dr. Harry Quigley , director of the glaucomaservice at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, said this and other studies suggest that doctors who are prescribing nasal steroids for people with allergies or sinusitis should ask whether patients or their close family members have glaucoma before prescribing the drug.
On one side, severe cases of asthma and allergies may be life threatening, so the risks outweigh the benefits. On the other side, you don't want to be relieved of some symtoms now, only to deal with some other disease later. Consult your doctor whether inhaled steroids are appropriate for you.
