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.
To minimize or prevent side effects of corticosteroids, the person with asthma can: 1  Use a spacer with a metered-dose inhaler. 2  Rinse his or her mouth with water after using a corticosteroid inhaler but should not swallow the water. The least amount of medicine that controls the asthma symptoms is used. 2  The amount of medicine and number of medicines are increased in steps. 3  So if asthma is not controlled at a low dose of one controller medicine, the dose may be increased. 4  Or another medicine may be added.
