What's better, putting off a small, previously unknown risk of a condition you might either not live to develop or may have developed regardless, vs incapacitating and potentially deadly asthma attacks?
- ams6110 11y agoYeah no drug is without side effects and long-term use of anything should be seriously questioned to be sure it's worth it. Article claims a 10% increase in the risk compared to those who have not taken the medication. Do not misread that as a 10% risk of developing dementia. So if for example there is an 5% chance of developing dementia in your lifetime, the enhanced risk is now 5.5%
