- Asthma: -
Asthma is characterized by episodic airway inflammation and chronic airway remodeling, which contribute to airflow obstruction giving rise to the symptoms of cough and wheeze. Corticosteroids, the most potent nonspecific anti-inflammatory agents, are the cornerstone of asthma treatment. However, in patients with severe asthma, corticosteroids are often ineffective at controlling airway inflammation, symptoms, and exacerbations. In patients with severe asthma, corticosteroids are used at the high doses required to partially control symptoms, at high doses they are commonly associated with significant side effects including mood instability, weight gain, impaired glycemic control (glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes), adrenal suppression and growth retardation in children.
