Question: 1 / 400

Patients switching from systemic to inhaled corticosteroids should be aware of the risk of?

Adrenal suppression

When a patient switches from systemic corticosteroids - which are taken orally or injected - to inhaled corticosteroids, they should be aware of the risk of adrenal suppression. This is because inhaled corticosteroids are more targeted and have a higher potency, which can lead to decreased production of natural steroids in the body. The other options listed - immediate cure, increased appetite, and improved vision - all do not accurately reflect the potential risk of switching to inhaled corticosteroids.
