ABSTRACT
Aerosol beclomethasone dipropionate was effective in maintaining airway patency in 14 out of 16 steroid-dependent asthmatics. In 3 patients who had significant adrenal suppression on systemic corticosteroid therapy substitution with aerosol beclomethasone led to recovery of adrenal function. From the evidence obtained it is concluded that this aerosol steroid represents a modest advance in the therapy of asthma.
