Pulmonary function and adrenal gland suppression with incremental doses of aerosolized beclomethasone dipropionate in horses with recurrent airway obstruction

Abstract

Low-dose (500 micrograms) beclomethasone administration caused similar, improvement in pulmonary function, compared with high-dose beclomethasone (1,000 and 1,500 micrograms), with the exception of dynamic compliance, and caused less suppression of endogenous cortisol production.
