Hello,
Omnacortil is a steroid that is used to prevent an asthma attack. It is generally safe if taken only for a few days at a time, the situation would be different if taken for long periods of time. Thus, I would say that you do not need to worry about its use. Its benefits in preventing a serious asthma attack are of paramount importance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
