Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of inhaled corticosteroids

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1998
There are significant differences in the pharmacokinetic properties of inhaled corticosteroids currently used in medical practice. All are rapidly cleared from the body but they show varying levels of oral bioavailability and more importantly variation in the rate of absorption after inhalation. Oral bioavailability is lowest for fluticasone propionate,

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 ...

Effect of Inhaled Corticosteroids on Growth

Pediatrics, 2001
To the Editor. I read with interest the meta-analysis of Sharek and Bergman1 regarding the effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on growth, and felt it was important to address 2 issues in response. First, the authors' analysis of the growth effect seen during treatment with fluticasone propionate (FP) 200 μg/day indicated a small but statistically

Inhaled Corticosteroids in Airways Disease

2009
I. Introduction Asthma therapy was revolutionized in the early 1970s by the introduction of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy. ICS therapy has subsequently proved to be the most effective anti-inflammatory treatments for asthma control. Because of the success of ICS for asthma and the realization that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ...

The Use of Inhaled Corticosteroids in Asthma

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1999
Inhaled corticosteroids are the most important therapeutic agents for the pharmacological control of pulmonary inflammation in asthma. There is concern, however, about the occurrence of side effects with the long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids.
