  • Title: [The long-term use of corticosteroid inhalations in bronchial asthma patients].
    Author: Markov AE.
    Journal: Lik Sprava; 1998 Jun; (4):101-5. PubMed ID: 9784718.
    Abstract:
    Our objective in this study was to observe how prolonged exposure to high doses of inhalation and peroral corticosteroids impacted on the risk of development of posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC). Of the 48 examinees, 27 percent revealed PSC. The presence of PSC correlated with diurnal dose of prednisone as well as with duration of its administration but no correlation was found between PSC and inhalation corticosteroids. The data obtained suggest to us that inhalation corticosteroids in hormone-dependent patients with bronchial asthma reduce the risk of PSC development.
