Beclomethasone dipropionate in pediatric perennial extrinsic rhinitis
Abstract:
A double-blind, crossover trial of beclomethasone dipropionate intranasal aerosol was undertaken in 30 children suffering from long-term perennial extrinsic rhinitis refractive to conventional therapy with a success rate of 83%. There were no side effects. Maximum improvement was a seen a week after initiation of the active drug. Nasal blockage and rhinorrhoea were most responsive.

Antiasthma Drugs: β2-Adrenoceptor Agonists
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce relaxation in these...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
