The efficacy of additional beclomethasone dipropionate to a conventional therapy in the treatment of acute asthma attack in childhood was evaluated. The mean dose of BDP was 8.7±2.6μg/kg/day, taken 3 times a day through a spacer. BDI did not hasten improvement of wheezes and PEFR. It was not demonstrated that BDI had acute effect to get early recovery of acute asthma attacks.
