Pediatric use
Children may be more susceptible to the use of local GCS, which inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system (GGN), than older patients, due to increased absorption of the drug, associated with a larger ratio of surface area to mass body.

Symptoms of inhibition of adrenal cortex function in children include a decrease in plasma levels of kortyazol and a lack of response to ACTH stimulation. An increase in intracranial pressure is manifested by bulging fontanel, headache, bilateral edema of the optic disc.
