Response of patients receiving high dose beclomethasone dipropionate.
Costello, J. F. and Clark, T. J. H. (1974). Thorax, 29, 571-573. Response of patients receiving high dose beclomethasone dipropionate. Beclomethasone dipropionate was inhaled by 16 patients with asthma in a dose of 1 mg daily for periods up to 24 weeks. No evidence of adrenal suppression was found in these patients as judged by basal cortisol levels. A further group of five patients with asthma...
متن کاملChanges in bronchoalveolar lavage inflammatory cells in asthmatic patients treated with high dose inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate.
Using serial bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), we have studied changes in the airway inflammatory cell populations in 20 asthmatic patients, before and after treatment with inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), 2,000 micrograms daily in an uncontrolled study. There was a significant improvement in asthma severity, as measured by symptom score and airways responsiveness, and there were signific...
متن کاملBone density in asthmatic patients taking high dose inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate and intermittent systemic corticosteroids.
BACKGROUND Asthmatic patients taking low to moderate doses of inhaled topical corticosteroids have been shown to have lower bone density than those taking bronchodilators only. There is little information on bone density in asthmatic patients taking high dose inhaled corticosteroids. METHODS Bone mass was studied in three age matched groups of asthmatic patients. These comprised: 17 asthmatic...
متن کاملRadiolabelling of Beclomethasone Dipropionate
Little is known about delivery of aerosolised steroids to neonatal patients undergoing assisted positive pressure ventilation and after extubation. A rabbit model has been established to investigate factors influencing drug delivery. Beclomethasone dipropionate, in a metered dose inhaler, was radiolabelied with technetium 99m. The mass median aerodynamic diameter of the aerosol was 3-3 (2.0) pm...
متن کاملNebulised beclomethasone dipropionate suspension.
We compared nebulised beclomethasone dipropionate suspension against placebo in 16 children with moderately severe asthma in double blind crossover fashion. Three children withdrew due to deterioration while on placebo. Of the remaining 13, eight were better on beclomethasone and five on placebo. These trends in favour of nebulised beclomethasone were not significant and do not suggest that the...
