Ciclesonide

Product Description

Ciclesonide is used to help prevent the symptoms of asthma. When used regularly every day, inhaled ciclesonide decreases the number and severity of asthma attacks. However, it will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started. Ciclesonide is a corticosteroid or steroid (cortisone-like medicine). It works by preventing inflammation (swelling) in the lungs, which makes the asthma attack less severe .
