No need to double up on steroids

Inhaling twice as much steroids at the beginning of an attack doesn't do much to help, according to a new study. I've never heard of the practice before, but apparently it is recommended by some.

Recommendations to double the dosage of inhaled steroids at the start of asthma attacks are challenged by research findings in the latest issue of The Lancet. This approach is widely advocated but investigators say it is of unproven value.
