Answers:
singulair side effects vary from person to person!. some people become aggressive or gain weight, while others get numbness in their limbs!. when you talk about steroids in inhalers, do you mean just singulair or inhalers like salbutamol (blue inhalers)!? i've been using salbutamol since i was 4 and don't think it's stunted my growth or anything like that!. if you want more information the website below has personal stories of peoples' side effects to singulair!.

1!. no, but un or undertreated asthma does stunt growth!. Asthma is considered a *growth stunting disease*,
common side effects are:
upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea;mouth pain;tired feeling;dizziness, headache;sore throat, cough, hoarseness; or stuffy nose!. singular also has a less common possible side effect of night terrors and mood swings!.

2!. At low to moderate dosages inhaled cortisteroids have few side effects!.!.the most common being dry mouth, there may be temporary growth stunting for 6 mths to 1 yr, but after 1 yrs growth resumes and full adult height is reached!. At high levels there may be growth stunting (researchers are not sure if it is the high dosages or the severity of the asthma causing the growth stunting), bone thining in post menopausal women and increased risk of glaucoma in patients over 50 with a history of abnormal eye pressure!.
Cortisteroids do not decrease the size of the penis, they are not the same thing as anabolic steroids!.
