Hello,
I have a 13-year-old son who has been on Simbycort for about nine months now. Looking back, he’s been using various inhalers—things like Seretide, Pulmicort, and others—since he was four years old. I am trying to understand if this medication is considered "hormonal"—and if it is, what the actual long-term implications are for a child (aside from the obvious benefit of him appearing healthy while he's actually taking it).
I would really appreciate your perspective on using Simbycort—especially since, looking at it from one angle, it feels like a very "heavy-duty" medication.
Is there a limit to how long he can stay on this specific treatment? And if his symptoms persist even after we stop using Simbycort, what would be the logical next step in terms of alternative medications?
Thank you so much in advance,🙂😉
