It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded. During inhaled or nasal corticosteroid medication, the emergence of symptoms such irregular menstruation, acneiform lesions, cataracts, and cushingoid features may signify overuse.
