Abstract
Plasma cortisol was measured every 20 min and sleep was monitored in nineteen asthmatic children, twelve of whom were receiving various doses of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP). Children receiving inhaled BDP had lower cortisol secretion during the night than those who were not taking inhaled BDP, a delayed rise from the nocturnal nadir, and low early morning levels. Inhaled BDP produces a dose-dependent adrenal suppression.Entities:
