Pharmacodynamics

Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals.2Ulobetasol有一个温和的持续时间ction as it is applied once or twice daily.7,8Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients may require doses that are multiples of what the body naturally produces.2Patients taking corticosteroids should be counselled regarding the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and increased susceptibility to infections.2

Mechanism of action

The short term effects of corticosteroids are decreased vasodilation and permeability of capillaries, as well as decreased leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation.2Corticosteroids binding to the glucocorticoid receptor mediates changes in gene expression that lead to multiple downstream effects over hours to days.2

Glucocorticoids inhibit phospholipase 2 and neutrophil apoptosis and demargination, resulting in decreased formation of arachidonic acid derivatives. They also inhibit NF-Kappa B and other inflammatory transcription factors while promoting anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10.1,2

Lower doses of corticosteroids provide an anti-inflammatory effect, while higher doses are immunosuppressive.2High doses of glucocorticoids for an extended period bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor, raising sodium levels and decreasing potassium levels.2

Toxicity

Data regarding acute overdoses of glucocorticoids are rare.7,8Chronic high doses of glucocorticoids can lead to the development of cataract, glaucoma, hypertension, water retention, hyperlipidemia, peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, myopathy, osteoporosis, mood changes, psychosis, dermal atrophy, allergy, acne, hypertrichosis, immune suppression, decreased resistance to infection, moon face, hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, metabolic acidosis, growth suppression, and secondary adrenal insufficiency.5Overdose may be treated by adjusting the dose or stopping the corticosteroid as well as initiating symptomatic and supportive treatment.5,10
