Overview

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are widely used for respiratory conditions like asthma. While their localized side effects are well-known, systemic effects are less studied. This paper reviews the evidence linking ICS to systemic effects on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, bone density, growth, eyes, skin, and immunity. Clinicians are advised to use the lowest possible dose to minimize these potential risks.
