Effects of long term inhaled high dose beclomethasone dipropionate on adrenal function.

Abstract: ABSTRACr Studies of adrenal function were performed on 54 asthmatic patients who were taking long term high doses of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate ranging from 500 to 2000 ,ug/day for between six and 60 months. Of the 43 patients taking up to 1500 ,tg/day, 39 (91%) had normal basal plasma cortisol concentrations and normal short tetracosactrin responses and 24 hour urinary free cortisol excretion was within the normal range in eight of nine patients tested. Some evidence of adrenal suppression was fou… Show more

“…The effect appears to be more marked with BDP than with BUD. [78][79][80][81][82] Doseranging studies in adults and children indicate that single doses of FP exhibit three-fold greater adrenal suppression than BUD, on a microgram equivalent basis. 83 One RCT compared the effects of FP 1500 µg/day and BUD 1600 µg/day with placebo in both healthy participants and participants with moderately severe asthma over a 7-day duration.…”

“…78,79 Although these biochemical changes are unequivocal, their clinical importance remains unclear, and even at high doses of ICS there remains significant inter-individual variability, with many patients demonstrating little or no evidence of adrenal suppression. 78,79 One of the major concerns of long-term ICS use is the potential for AEs on bone turnover, resulting in an increased risk for osteoporosis and fracture. This is mediated through the inhibition of osteoblast function (bone formation) and by increasing osteoclast function (leading to increased bone resorption).…”

“…92,93 The effect of ICS on growth in children has been a controversial issue. A number of short-term studies using knemometry (measurement of lower limb length using highly accurate measures) have demonstrated that high-dose ICS use is associated with short-term growth suppression.…”

“…In these early studies, inhaled corticosteroids proved to be safe as far as the suppressive effects on the suprarenal function are concerned, even when administered at high doses [3]. The evaluation of adrenal function was made by using plasma cortisol levels, a method with a poor sensitivity.…”
