Beclomethasone dipropionate in long-term treatment of asthma in children
Abstract
Beclomethasone dipropionate was found to be effective in reducing symptoms of asthma in children. There was no measurable influence on pulmonary function. An 18-month follow-up did not show untoward side effects on adrenal function, growth, serum electrolytes, and hepatic and renal functions with a dose of 100 mug three times daily. The treatment predisposes to the colonization with Candida albicans in the oropharynx.
