This case series intends to highlight the association between decreased linear growth velocity and adrenal suppression in patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids for asthma. A potential treatment option is also discussed. Adrenal suppression secondary to inhaled corticosteroids has previously been reported

The glucocorticoid ciclesonide is the 2'R-epimer of 2'-cyclohexyl-11beta-hydroxy-21-isobutyryloxy-16bH-dioxolo[5',4':16,17]pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione. The active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (des-CIC) is derived from ciclesonide by esterase cleavage of isobutyrate at the C21 position. The relative binding affinities at the rat glucocorticoid receptor were dexamethasone, 100; ciclesonide, 12;
