Ciclesonide is a new inhaled glucocorticoid drug for treating asthma,it belongs to adrenocorticotropic hormone drugs, similar drugs also include beclomethasone dipropionate, budesonide, fluticasone propionate, the product is administrated in a non-active form ,it can be activated by endogenous esterases in the airway on the spot , it becomes into an active ingredient when it reaches the target organ-the lung; once it is activated, it shows a high topical anti-inflammatory activity.

Accordingly, it is an appropriate OCS saving therapy.
| [Side Effects]
Ciclesonide becomes effective faster than budesonide,its systemic side effects are lower than the fluticasone propionate and budesonide, even though the highest doses of 160μg is used, plasma glucocorticoid inhibition is also higher than other corticosteroids inhalants (if high plasma corticosterone hormone levels are high ,the systemic side effects is high).
Local side effects comparison table is as follows:
Side effects of this product fluticasone propionate budesonide
Dysphonia (hoarseness) 1.6% 4% 1%-8%-6%
