Sharek, Paul J. MD, MPH. Bergman, David A. MD. The Effect of Inhaled Steroids on the Linear Growth of Children With Asthma: A Meta-analysis. Pediatrics. 106(1):e8, July 2000.
"...The fluticasone subgroup, with 1 study and 183 subjects, showed a decrease in linear growth velocity of .43 cm/year, {a tiny decrease in my opinion}."If you give me your e-mail address, I could mail you some other findings on the drug from JAMA.
