摘要
Systemic corticosteroids (CSs) are generally accepted as treatment for acute exacerbations of asthma, In contrast, inhaled corticosteroids (ICs) have been used for the long-term management of asthma but are not widely accepted for the treatment of asthma exacerbations, The onset of action of ICs in acute asthma begins in 1 hour, In patients with mild to moderate exacerbation, administration of high-dose ICs may decrease the need for hospital admission and the number of symptomatic days.
