[Inhaled corticotherapy].
Inhaled corticosteroids are active against bronchial inflammation, a major component of asthma in adults. They constitute a good alternative to systemic corticosteroid therapy in most cases, since their side-effects are infinitely less important. However, a strict inhalation technique is required for this treatment to be effective.
