DAR No 10. Ciclesonide (Alvesco®) in asthma
Share it
...and one more inhaled glucocorticoid
- Ciclesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid indicated in the management of persistent asthma in adults and adolescents (≥12 years).
- The short-term efficacy is similar to other available inhaled corticosteroids in the management of mild and moderate asthma patients.
- There are no long-term data available either for severe asthma or use at high doses.
- The theoretical single daily dose advantage is undermined by only one available 160 μg dose presentation which limits individual dose adjustments.
