What are inhaled corticosteroids indicated for?

  1. Immediate relief from asthma attacks

  2. Controlling blood pressure

  3. Primary treatment of bronchospastic disorders

  4. Curing systemic fungal infections

The correct answer is: Primary treatment of bronchospastic disorders

Inhaled corticosteroids are used primarily for the treatment of bronchospastic disorders, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They work to reduce inflammation and swelling in the airways, and therefore can help improve breathing and prevent asthma attacks. These medications are not typically used for immediate relief during an asthma attack, as they do not work quickly enough. Inhaled corticosteroids also do not have any effect on blood pressure or systemic fungal infections.
