Inhaled steroids in asthma

R Dworski et al. Compr Ther. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

Inhaled corticosteroids provide a relatively trouble free means of treating the airway inflammation of asthma and can allow for the reduction of both oral steroid use and the symptoms in asthmatics using bronchodilators. Conventional doses may not be sufficient to provide control in many patients, and dosing should be tailored to the individual. These higher doses may cause systemic side effects, but these are less than those incurred by using oral prednisone.
