About Ciclesonide(Alvesco)
Ciclesonide is a glucocorticoid used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis.Ciclesonide is a novel inhaled glucocorticoid asthma treatment and belongs to the adrenal cortex hormones. Similar drugs include beclomethasone dipropionate, budesonide, and fluticasone propionate. The product is inactive. Formal administration, which is activated on the spot by endogenous esterases in the airways, converts the target organ into an active ingredient in the lung; once activated, it exhibits high local anti-inflammatory activity.
