When are inhaled corticosteroids used in COPD?

Ep 8 - When are inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) used in the treatment of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)? Inhaled corticosteroids are normally a treatment for asthma, however they are useful for people who have many COPD flare-ups (exacerbations) and more severe COPD. The question in the video specifically talks about using Flovent (fluticasone) in addition to Anoro Ellipta (a combination of two bronchodilators). Please leave your questions or comments below and I will try to adresss them in future videos. #toplunghealth 🔗 The website: 🎵 The podcast: Anchor: Spotify: You can support my work on this channel by using YouTube Super Thanks (using the icon below the video) or ☕ “buying a coffee“ here: ======= Disclaimers: ------------- For all viewers/listeners: The information presented here or in other videos and posts on this channel is not medical advice.
