Summary

Corticosteroids effectively reduce airway inflammation in asthma. Dosages vary by severity, with inhaled options preferred to minimize side effects, though oral or intravenous forms are used for severe cases or exacerbations.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Bronchial asthma involves airway inflammation mediated by eosinophils and lymphocytes.
  • Asthma severity is determined by symptoms, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and treatment needs.

Purpose:

  • To outline the stepwise approach to corticosteroid therapy in asthma management based on severity.
  • To detail dosage recommendations for inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and other corticosteroid formulations.

Summary:

  • Asthma management progresses through defined steps, from mild (Step 1: ≤200 mcg BDP) to severe (Step 4: oral/high-dose inhaled corticosteroids).
  • Intravenous corticosteroids are indicated for moderate to severe acute asthma exacerbations.
  • Inhaled corticosteroids are the most effective anti-inflammatory asthma treatment, with fewer systemic side effects than oral forms.

Impact:

  • Provides a clear guideline for optimizing corticosteroid use in diverse asthma severities.
  • Highlights strategies to mitigate adverse effects of inhaled corticosteroids, such as using a spacer and gargling.
