Abstract
1 Beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for asthma in childhood, with virtual absence of side effects at this age.
2 When treatment is unsuccessful, this is usually due to failure to take it correctly and regularly.
3 A good response is usually associated with an improvement in ventilatory function and a marked increase in growth velocity.
