Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Flexotide is a steroid.
It is safe if you follow doctors instructions.
Steroid given for a long time will have side effects.
Inhaled steroids given for a sort period intermittently are quite safe.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
