Although glucocorticoids are widely used in the treatment and prophylaxis of asthma and other respiratory diseases, questions as to their mechanisms of action and their effectiveness continue to provoke debate. Controversies also exist in the selection of individual steroid preparations, dosages, and methods of delivery. These concerns are examined from the basis of the pharmacologic actions of these potent drugs.
