Overview: Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are improperly treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), increasing their risk of harm. This episode explores the latest evidence on long-term ICS risks and provides practical guidance to help you align COPD care with current guidelines—improving outcomes while minimizing adverse effects like pneumonia, cataracts, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis.
