How does ATOPICA compare to corticosteroids?
Steroids provide quick relief of symptoms, but they can cause serious side effects if given for an extended period of time. These side effects develop because steroids affect virtually every system in the body. Steroids also become less effective over time, so higher doses are required to achieve the same result. ATOPICA, on the other hand, inhibits activation of specific immune cells involved in the allergic reaction.
