Change in quality of life (QoL) and cooperation (C P) of asthma patients treated with beclometasone dipropionate in different optimized delivery systems
Abstract
QoL and CP were evaluated in bronchial asthma (BA) patients treated with different aerosol delivery systems. The QoL was evaluated using the MOS SF-36 questionnaire, the CP was evaluated using the lcBa-50 questionnaire which is an original Russian questionnaire. Twenty-six atopic BA patients (18 to 74 yrs, 15 men and 11 women) receiving Beclazone EB 250 meg in one puff, 750 meg daily, were transferred to Beclojet at the same doses. Reliable increase in QoL and CP parameters was shown after changing the aerosol. So, the optimized delivery systems can improve the QoL and the CP. Besides that, Beclojet was shown to improve them better then Beclason EB.
