Abstract
|
|
|
|
Maintenance of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) has been supported by many studies. The new guideline mentioned that ICS should not be withdrawn in adult asthmatics. Meanwhile, asthma is variable disease in symptom and severity, so it is not easy in real practice to maintain ICS, especially asthma is well controlled for long time. In this review, we will cover the characteristics of asthma, what happen when ICS is stopped in asthma, and the safety of ICS. Although ICS is the most important pharmacotherapy in asthma, we should consider its careful withdrawal in well-controlled and well-informed asthmatics.
