  • Title: Long-term treatment of nasal polyps with beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol. I. Treatment and rationale.
    Author: Mygind N, Prytz S, Sorensen H, Pedersen CB.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 1976; 82(3-4):252-5. PubMed ID: 790890.
    Abstract:
    Beclomethasone dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid, which when applied by a pressurized metered dose aerosol in the airways has pronounced anti-allergic effects with no risk of systemic steroid side effects at the recommended dosage. An impressive effect in hay fever and perennial rhinitis has been demonstrated. A double-blind short-term trial showed that the drug was effective in about 80% of patients suffering from moderate to severe nasal polyposis. A study of the long-term effects on the nasal mucosa is indicated.
