Kate from Drugs.com replied: "Alvesco (ciclesonide) is a a man-made corticosteroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Alvesco is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children 12 years and older.

Stephen replied: "Yes its an inhaled steroid. It shouldn't cause the symptoms you describe."

What's the difference between prednisone and Alvesco (allergy concerns)? My doc put me on a new inhaled steroid called Alvesco for asthma. I was reading through the info packet and noticed it is a corticosteroid. I was concerned because I was put on prednisone as a child and had a very adverse allergic reaction. I called my doctor back and asked about the cortisone and my concern about it. He said that this was different in that it was inactive until it was inhaled which means the effects will be isolated to my lungs. I trust him (he has been my doctor for 25+ years) but I am still going to take this hesitantly at first. Does anyone have any information about this or know of a way to compare and contrast prednisone to this new inhaler (it's pharm name is ciclesonide; not a whole lot on the web I can find other than uses, side effects, etc) I blew up like a balloon. I was young when it happened, so I remember the incident, but not really the actual consequences. I recall my back swelling up, like maybe my kidneys (?) were affected.

Little Chip replied: "OK, prednisolone is usually given in tablet form, thus the steroid content of the drug can affect all of your body, causing allergic reactions and many, many side effects. However a steroid based inhaler sends the drug straight to your lungs, the place it's needed the most, because of this it does not have the same effects or side effects as the tablet. Plus there are many forms of steroid available today, having an allergy to one form does not mean you'll automatically be allergic to other forms. I have been taking perdnisolone for over 40 years, plus steroid inhalers. I have suffered many of the side effects from prednislone but none from any of the inhalers I've taken. You doctor sounds like he knows what he's taking about, so if you trust him, take his advice."

Lise22 replied: "My question to you would be what kind of reaction did you have to Prednisone. Usually people will vomit if they don't take it with food, I've never seen an allergic reaction to it. Alvesco is different as it is inhaled and works directly on the smooth muscles of the bronchi, it won't pass into your system. You'll be fine."
