Article information

Few therapeutic alternatives to prednisone are available forsevere, corticosteroid-resistant asthma. Injectable triamcinoloneacetonide (TA) has been used in this type of asthma, althoughits use is controversial. TA shows considerable efficacy whencompared with prednisone according to nearly all studies, although the majority do not provide a high level of evidence. The use of TA has been questioned, with claims put forwardthat it is equivalent to increasing the corticosteroid dose, thusleading to a higher risk of adverse effects. This would meanthat TA would not represent an improvement over prednisonebecause of the trade-offs between risks and benefits. Thisinterpretation is questionable, however, because the data showthat TA causes fewer adverse effects than prednisone, meaningthat the balance of risks and benefits does favor TA. Therefore, TA can be considered a useful option for the treatment ofpatients with severe prednisone-resistant asthma.

Las alternativas terapéuticas a la prednisona en el asmagrave que no responde a los corticoides son escasas. Elacetónido de triamcinolona (AT) de administracióninyectada se ha utilizado en esta asma, aunque su empleo esmotivo de controversia. Casi todos los estudios realizados, aunque en su mayoría son de escasa calidad, muestran unaeficacia sustancial del AT comparado con la prednisona. Seha cuestionado el uso del AT aduciéndose que equivale aaumentar la dosis del glucocorticoide, lo que comportará unmayor riesgo de efectos secundarios, de modo que el balancefinal de riesgos y beneficios del AT no mejoraría el de laprednisona. Los datos publicados permiten dudar de esainterpretación, ya que muestran que el AT ocasiona menosefectos secundarios que la prednisona, por lo que el balancede riesgos y beneficios es superior al de esta última. Por ellopuede considerarse el AT una opción válida para tratar alos pacientes con asma grave que no responde a laprednisona.
