  • Title: Particle size of inhaled corticosteroids: does it matter?
    Author: Leach C, Colice GL, Luskin A.
    Journal: J Allergy Clin Immunol; 2009 Dec; 124(6 Suppl):S88-93. PubMed ID: 19962042.
    Abstract:
    A question with respect to asthma therapy revolves around the issue of whether better efficacy occurs with an ultrafine-particle inhaled corticosteroid because of better lung deposition into the distal airways. This article reviews particle size and delivery devices of different steroids, clinical outcomes of small- versus large-particle steroids, and the issue of pharmacoeconomics.
