• Inhaled bronchodilators and oral corticosteroids are the first-line
treatment for acute asthma. (7)
• Inhaled short-acting beta 2-agonists plus Systemic glucocorticoids
added according to increased severity. (4)
• Doubling dose of inhaled steroid not recommended for home
management of exacerbations. While high-dose inhaled, steroid or
oral steroids may be effective. (12)
• A high-dose Inhaled Corticosteroids therapy alone may be of a
similar effectiveness as oral corticosteroid therapy when used after
Emergency Department discharge. (3, 7, 16, 17)
• Systematic corticosteroids may be better than high-dose inhaled
corticosteroids in reducing relapse and preventing hospitalization in
severe attacks. (2, 5, 6, 11, 13-16)
• Oral prednisone is more preferable over any other inhaled
corticosteroid including fluticasone. (1)
To the Patient…
• The patient can continue the usual treatment with
an increased dose (800 µg /day) of Inhaled
Corticosteroids after Emergency Department
discharge along with a prescribed short course of
oral corticosteroids (3-10 d). (2, 3, 8-10)
