Asthma treatment aids to prevent miscarriages

[everhealthy]

A common treatment for asthma could help prevent women from having recurrent miscarriages and allow them to get pregnant. British researchers have found that the steroid prednisolone can destroy certain cells that appear to be linked to miscarriage. The findings were presented at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Copenhagen yesterday. The drug, which costs $2.55 a week, is a breakthrough in an area where doctors still have little knowledge. There are no treatments, cures or preventative therapies for miscarriage.
