Ciclesonide is a corticosteroid used primarily for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis. What makes it special is its prodrug nature; it is activated in the lungs, which helps to minimize systemic side effects and increases its safety profile compared to some other inhaled corticosteroids. Additionally, its once-daily dosing can improve patient adherence.
