Steroid-induced osteoporosis. Are your asthmatic patients at risk?

Asthmatic patients who rely on long-term, high-dose corticosteroid therapy are at increased risk for osteoporosis. The use of low-dose inhaled corticosteroids may be safe enough not to require special assessment of bone loss or preventive measures.
