Inhaled beclomethasone in pregnant asthmatic women - A systematic review
2014, Allergologia et ImmunopathologiaCitation Excerpt :Most articles discuss about the efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids in general, which is a recurrent subject of research in this area.11,13–17 The first publications from the 1980s sought to evaluate the drug efficacy and safety in a period in which it had never been used in pregnant women.17,18 As a result, several case series studies emerged, which were important to suggest safety of using corticosteroids and to stimulate the emergence of new studies in the 1990s, at this time, more capable to evaluate risks and efficacy.14–16
