Fluticasone comparison with beclometasone

Authoring team

  • comparisons of fluticasone with beclometasone have been performed with a variety of daily doses ranging from 200-1500 mcg of fluticasone and from 200-2000 mcg of beclometasone
    • studies have reported that fluticasone appears to be twice as potent as beclometasone, with half the dose of fluticasone providing equivalent efficacy to, or in some cases, greater efficacy than, beclometasone
