    Abstract

    Extra-fine particle formulations of hydrofluoroalkane-134a beclometasone dipropionate (HFA-BDP) exhibit clinical effects comparable with conventional particle formulations of chlorofluorocarbon beclometasone dipropionate (CFC-BDP) at half the dose. There is little data comparing their effects on inflammation. We have evaluated the effects of HFA-BDP and CFC-BDP on pulmonary and systemic markers of asthmatic inflammation.
