7. Inhaled corticosteroids in COPD: Personalising the therapeutic choice.

Author

Shaw JA and Irusen EM

Abstract

There has been a recent surge in interest in the role of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the treatment of COPD, especially regarding patients with high eosinophil counts. Evidence has shown that despite the increase in localised adverse effects and a small increase in non-fatal pneumonia events with ICS use, ICS still have an important role to play in reducing exacerbation rates and addressing the inflammation that is at the heart of the pathogenesis of COPD. Current international guidelines recommend the use of ICS only in patients with severe disease. This review examines the potential role of ICS in all COPD patients., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest: EMI has received lecture fees from AstraZeneca, Novartis, MSD, Boehringer Ingelheim and Aspen and is currently employed part-time by GlaxoSmithKline.
