Beclomethasone dipropionate in the management of rhinitis--a review.

Abstract

Beclomethasone dipropionate has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of seasonal and perennial rhinitis. Comparative studies with other medications are lacking. Adverse reactions are frequent but minor. No alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, nasal mucosal histology or bacterial and fungal flora have been recognized.
