Active ingredients

The drug ALVESCO contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Ciclesonide
UNII S59502J185 - CICLESONIDE

Ciclesonide exhibits low binding affinity to the glucocorticoid-receptor. Once orally inhaled, ciclesonide is enzymatically converted in the lungs to the principal metabolite (C21-des-methylpropionyl-ciclesonide) which has a pronounced anti-inflammatory activity and is thus considered as the active metabolite.
