Flunisolide in chronic bronchial asthma.

D R Webb, M F Mullarkey, M I Freeman

    Annals of Allergy
    |February 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Inhaled flunisolide improved asthma control and reduced medication needs in both steroid-dependent and independent patients. Steroid-dependent patients showed increased cortisol, while both groups had altered metyrapone test responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Bronchial asthma requires effective long-term management.
    • Inhaled corticosteroids are a cornerstone of asthma therapy.
    • Assessing the impact of inhaled corticosteroids on adrenal function is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of aerosolized flunisolide in bronchial asthma patients.
    • To investigate the effects of flunisolide on adrenal function, specifically cortisol levels and metyrapone test response.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-month open-label study involving 16 steroid-dependent and 13 steroid-independent bronchial asthma patients.
    • Treatment administered via aerosolized flunisolide.
    • Assessment of asthma symptoms, other medication usage, adverse effects, morning plasma cortisol levels, and metyrapone test response.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in asthma control and a decrease in the usage of other asthma medications.
    • Minimal adverse side effects reported.
    • Steroid-dependent patients exhibited increased morning plasma cortisol levels; steroid-independent patients maintained normal levels.
    • Both patient groups showed a decline in their response to the metyrapone test.

    Conclusions:

    • Aerosolized flunisolide is an effective treatment for improving asthma control and reducing concomitant medication requirements.
    • Flunisolide may impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, particularly in steroid-dependent asthmatics.
    • The metyrapone test response is potentially affected by flunisolide usage, suggesting caution when interpreting results during treatment.
