  • Title: A retrospective review of the effects of one year of triamcinolone acetonide aerosol treatment on the growth patterns of asthmatic children.
    Author: Brown DC, Savacool AM, Letizia CM.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1989 Jul; 63(1):47-51. PubMed ID: 2662835.
    Abstract:
    Retrospective growth data were evaluated for 82 asthmatic children (59% dependent on oral corticosteroids) receiving triamcinolone acetonide aerosol for 1 year. Two-thirds of the steroid-dependent patients discontinued oral steroids. Triamcinolone acetonide did not adversely affect height or weight gain, although steroid-dependent asthmatics gained less weight than predicted, probably due to diminished fluid retention and appetite associated with decreased oral steroid doses and resolution of cushingoid features.
