METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING CORTICOSTEROID FORMULATIONS
摘要
Described here are methods for the treatment of respiratory conditions using nebulized corticosteroids. The methods administer a dose of corticosteroid twice a day or more with nebulization times of 5 minutes or less. The faster nebulization times improve patient compliance. The methods also employ a lower corticosteroid dose while achieving therapeutic efficacy similar to commercially available formulations. This results in improved patient safety by reducing the systemic exposure of the corticosteroid.
