Safety of Inhaled Corticosteroids

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2004
Systemic bioavailability from the gastrointestinal tract is reduced with newer inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) such as fluticasone, but systemic absorption still occurs via the lung. Observational studies have shown an association between ICS use and several adverse outcomes such as cataracts, glaucoma, and adrenal failure, and prospective controlled ...

Systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2012
Although inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are the mainstay of therapy in asthma, their use raises certain safety concerns. We review the articles appearing in the last year which have addressed the safety of ICSs when used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Recent studies suggest that patients with asthma as ...

Asthma, growth and inhaled corticosteroids

Respiratory Medicine, 1993
Linear growth can be divided into three phases: during infancy it is influenced mainly by nutrition; thereafter throughout childhood it comes under hormonal control; puberty constitutes the third phase. The pubertal growth spurt, which may account for up to 30 cm of linear growth, results from an increase in growth hormone pulse amplitude that is ...

Developing the Ideal Inhaled Corticosteroid

Chest, 2006
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are considered the most effective asthma therapy, but concerns remain about side effects. The ideal ICS would have a larger therapeutic ratio than currently available agents, allowing doses to be increased but without greatly increasing the frequency or severity of adverse events.

Side effects of inhaled corticosteroids

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1998
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy carries less risk of complicating drug- or disease-related morbidity and mortality than that associated with other antiasthmatic drugs such as prednisone, theophylline, or beta2-agonist bronchodilators. Serious side effects are uncommon, but the risk increases with the daily dose.

Inhaled corticosteroids—effect on bone?

Respiratory Medicine, 1993
Asthmatic patients receiving long-term therapy with oral prednisolone have been found to have an increased incidence of vertebral fractures. Measurements of bone density have shown that diminished bone density is associated with administration of oral corticosteroids rather than with the disease.
