Hydrofluoroalkane-Beclomethasone Dipropionate Effectively Improves Airway Eosinophilic Inflammation Including the Distal Airways of Patients with Mild to Moderate Persistent Asthma as Compared with Fluticasone Propionate in a Randomized Open Double-Cross Study

Hydrofluoroalkane-Beclomethasone Dipropionate Effectively Improves Airway Eosinophilic Inflammation Including the Distal Airways of Patients with Mild to Moderate Persistent Asthma as Compared with Fluticasone Propionate in a Randomized Open Double-Cross Study

Background: To evaluate whether hydrofluoroalkane-beclomethasone dipropionate (HFA-BDP) controls eosinophilic inflammation, including that in the distal airways, more effectively than fluticasone propionate (FP) Diskus®. Methods: Fifty patients with well-controlled mild to moderate persistent asthma...
