Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Corticosteroids are vital in reducing asthma-related morbidity and mortality.
  • Prolonged or frequent corticosteroid use leads to significant adverse effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the appropriate use of corticosteroids in asthma management.
  • To highlight considerations for specific patient populations and clinical situations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on corticosteroid therapy for asthma.
  • Analysis of factors influencing corticosteroid selection and administration.

Main Results:

  • Systemic corticosteroids should be reserved for acute bronchospasm.
  • Low-dose maintenance therapy is recommended for chronic asthma.

  • Aerosolized corticosteroids offer a safer alternative with reduced morbidity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Individualized corticosteroid selection is essential, considering potency, duration, and patient-specific factors like liver disease, heart failure, pregnancy, and prior corticosteroid exposure.
    • Careful management is necessary to balance asthma control with minimizing corticosteroid side effects.
