Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the most effective long-term therapy available for mild, moderate, or severe persistent asthma. ICS are anti-inflammatory medications that reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, inhibit inflammatory cell migration and activation, and block late phase reaction to allergen.
Systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids may occur but typically are not clinically important, except with long-term, high-dose use. Adding a spacer device or changing either the inhaled corticosteroid medication or the delivery system can usually overcome asthma-related cough.ecause of their delayed onset of action, inhaled steroids are insufficient for moderate to severe exacerbations. 7 Instead, oral steroid treatment is recommended: 1 to 2 mg per kg per day for three to 10 days in children, or 40 to 60 mg per day in one or two divided doses for five to 10 days in adults.
