Hi,

Aerocort Contain steroids and beta 2 agonists (drugs that open the airways). While they may have some side effects z but they are generally for long term use. Most of COPD patients will be using this for long times. And as it is only going to lungs, there are no major problems being reported in the long term.. We generally advise to wash mouth with water after it's use.

This is only used for the control of symptoms. Of you feel short of breath you can use it for long tiemns. If you dont have shortness of breath you may stop using it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
