Asthma patients have been urged to ensure the inhalers they buy have two critical components crucial in the management of the disease.
Jacqueline Kagima, a doctor at Kenyatta National Hospital, said an inhaler must have inhalable corticosteroids and bronchodilators, otherwise, it will not serve the purpose.
Corticosteroids are steroid hormones known for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
They can be produced naturally or synthetically.
