  • Title: The long-term use of beclomethasone dipropionate for the control of severe asthma in children.
    Author: Lee-Hong E, Collins-Williams C.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1977 Apr; 38(4):242-4. PubMed ID: 851256.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-nine children with severe asthma who had been treated with aerosol inhalations of beclomethasone dipropionate for 33 to 34 months were studied. Twenty-eight were still benefitting from the drug, thrush had occurred in three, and only six of the 20 originally steroid-dependent now required steroid orally. The authors feel that this is an efficacious, safe medication but stress that systemic steroid therapy should be promptly reinstituted during acute exacerbations in steroid-dependent patients.
