My 10 Year sister has asthma. What is the effect of using an asthma preventer long-term? I heard that using it for years might cause bone shrinkage. Is it true?

Hi, asthma is an incurable disease but suppressive in nature. Frequent use of asthma preventer not at all suitable to your body. Long term use may cause immune power loss as well as bone shrinkage. Try to create auto immune power to increase by natural way and restrain yourself gradually preventer. Ok.
