  • Title: [Report of a case. Inhalation steroids caused adrenal cortex suppression].
    Author: Rask E, Eriksson JW, Forsberg G.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 1997 Oct 01; 94(40):3529-30, 3533. PubMed ID: 9411094.
    Abstract:
    In one of two cases of systemic effects of high-dose inhaled corticosteroid treatment with fluticasone propionate, adrenal suppression was demonstrated in a young man, and in the other retarded growth and severe general effects were observed in connection with infection in a child. These cases illustrate the risk of systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids, and the importance of using the lowest possible maintenance dose.
