Can steroids for asthma put you at risk when exposed to flu?
They may lower your immune response so that you don't achieve full immunity from exposure, if the steroid dose is high enough. Contact a local pharmacist and tell them what you take and they can help you with more details and recommendations with your specific medical condition and medical history in mind. Ask them also about taking flu vaccinations while on your current medications.
See the link to the site below in the related links section for more information on using steroids for asthma, which includes the following information:
One of the actions of prednisone is to weaken the body's immune system. This effect is beneficial when treating allergies or so-called "autoimmune" diseases like arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. However, whenever you weaken the immune system, you increase the body's susceptibility to infection.
Prednisone does not make an individual more likely to get a flu or catch a cold. But, it can increase susceptibility to chickenpox (varicella) and other herpes viruses. Individuals, who have recovered from tuberculosis, or TB, can experience reactivation of the disease when on prednisone. If you have not previously had chickenpox, tell your doctor. Do not take prednisone if you have tuberculosis (active or inactive), shingles or other herpes infection of eyes, lips, or genitals. You should not be vaccinated against any infectious disease while you are on prednisone especially live polio vaccine. Allergy skin tests and TB skin tests will usually be invalid while you are on prednisone. A small number of patients on prednisone develop yeast infections of the mouth (thrush) or vagina. Fortunately, effective medications are available to combat this problem should it occur.
If you don't have a full response from exposure, you could still be at risk of getting the flu, so you will need to also continue to use other precautionary methods, such as frequent hand washing and other preventive recommendations.
Asthmatics are already among those in the high risk groups whether taking steroids or not, and you would be more likely to have pulmonary complications of the lung infection with or without that medication.
If you do get the flu, be in close communication with your doctor in case they determine you need anti-viral medications (most effective if given in 48 hours after the symptoms start), and to quickly intervene if you begin having symptoms of complications.
i take two antidepressants. i ran out of citalopram and didn't get it refilled for a month. when i started taking it again, i experienced a very unusual type of itching. the interesting thing is that this itching had previously been occurring for about a year, but just recently had stopped. i have run a couple of anecdotal tests, and i am convinced the citalopram is responsible. the itching comes from inside my feet and fingers. it comes in pulses that subside. episodes last from 15 to 60 minutes. the itching always starts when i am experiencing an upset mood - fear, anxiety, annoyance, anger. scratching does not help beyond the immediate moment. it can contribute to lack of sleep, and daytime concentration on the outside world when an episode occrus. in all my life, this is the strangest reaction to a drug. Even though many years ago, i did a little LSD. now to tell my psychiatrist (we had discussed the coincidence of the itching and mood).
