Inhaled Corticosteroids for Cough-Variant Asthma

for Chronic Cough

A daily inhaled steroid medication prescribed when cough-variant asthma (airway inflammation without classic wheeze) is diagnosed as the cause of chronic cough.

How it works

Reduces airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness characteristic of cough-variant asthma, cutting cough frequency at its source.

What to watch for

Requires a doctor's diagnosis (often via bronchial challenge or a treatment trial); not effective for cough from other causes such as post-nasal drip or reflux.
