The principle of gradual reduction of the dose of steroid drugs applies primarily to oral drugs. In the case of inhaled drugs, whose absorption is small, so they have small systemic effects, there are no such strict recommendations or official guidelines. Despite this, doctors sometimes recommend gradually reducing the frequency of applications. In an individual case, it is best to follow directly the recommendations of the person who ordered the administration of the drug.
