Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Ciclesonide is an inhalation glucocorticoid. It is approved to treat inflammatory/obstructive airway diseases such as persistent asthma.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Ciclesonide and/or its active metabolite desisobutyrylciclesonide act to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Glucocorticoid receptor agonists modulate the expression of genes containing the glucocorticoid response element (GRE). Although complex, the response appears to include inhibition of the biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
