    Author: Mygind N, Prahl P.
    Journal: HNO; 1976 Apr; 24(4):143-5. PubMed ID: 786961.
    Abstract:
    Some of the problems within the research field of allergology are discussed. The main topic is the new treatment of allergic nasal diseases with a local glucocorticosteroid. Beclomethasone dipropionate (Beconase) can be given intranasally without any risk of systemic side-effects. The drug is found very effective in the treatment of hay fever, vasomotor rhinitis and nasal polypi in adults. In a double-blind crossover trial with 19 hay fever children, aged 8-16 years, 18 preferred the active drug, none preferred the placebo and one had no preference. It is concluded that 400 mug beclomethasone dipropionate a day is a safe and very effective treatment of nasal hay fever symptoms in children.
