Concerns of patients with bronchial asthma against the use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids

The medical literature describes the problem of anxiety and fear of using glucocorticosteroid drugs and their side effects in patients with bronchial asthma. Frequently, unjustified fears of patients are the cause of non-compliance with therapeutic recommendations, which in turn results in the lack of therapeutic effects [24]. In order to counteract this unfavorable phenomenon, to increase the safety and effectiveness of therapy in patients with bronchial asthma, large-scale educational activities should be carried out both among medical staff and patients on the importance of glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of bronchial asthma and their impact on the degree of control of the disease.
