The study addressed the question whether the novel inhaled prodrug corticosteroid ciclesonide is equally effective when inhaled in the morning compared to the evening. For this purpose a double-blind, randomized, parallel group study was initiated in which 209 asthmatic patients

This case series intends to highlight the association between decreased linear growth velocity and adrenal suppression in patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids for asthma. A potential treatment option is also discussed. Adrenal suppression secondary to inhaled corticosteroids has previously been reported

The glucocorticoid ciclesonide is the 2'R-epimer of 2'-cyclohexyl-11beta-hydroxy-21-isobutyryloxy-16bH-dioxolo[5',4':16,17]pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione. The active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (des-CIC) is derived from ciclesonide by esterase cleavage of isobutyrate at the C21 position. The relative binding affinities at the rat glucocorticoid receptor were dexamethasone, 100; ciclesonide, 12;
