WHAT ALVESCO IS USED 
FOR 
Alvesco is inhaled into the lungs for 
the treatment of asthma. Asthma is a 
disease where the lining of the lungs 
becomes inflamed (red and swollen), 
making it difficult to breathe. 
Alvesco contains a medicine called 
ciclesonide, which belongs to a 
family of medicines called 
corticosteroids. 
Alvesco metered dose inhalers 
deliver a measured amount of 
ciclesonide, which acts directly on
