“The combination of a long-acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) and an inhaled corticosteroid is more efficacious in asthma and [COPD] than [...] either alone. Corticosteroids may regulate beta 2 receptor function by increasing expression of the receptor, restoring G-protein/beta 2 receptor coupling, and inhibiting beta 2 receptor downregulation.”

This is what I thought but not sure if it’s correct. There is a UWorld q where it describes co-administration of cortisol and epinephrine. Cortisol significantly enhances the effect of epi because cortisol has a permissive effect on maintaining the adrenergic receptors.
