This does not constitute medical advice. If you're just using a puffer, then you "should" be ok. Where the medical folks get twitchy is if you need to take oral steroids. (eg prednisolone).
From the UK CAA's medical section. Respiratory
"Asthma medication: Oral steroids are disqualifying for certification. Inhaled beta 2 agonists, anticholinergic medication, corticosteroids and cromoglycate are acceptable for certification. Leukotriene receptor antagonists, such as montelukast, will be considered on a case by case basis.
