The effect of dose on the characterization of aerodynamic particle-size distributions of beclomethasone dipropionate metered-dose inhalers.

The aerodynamic particle-size distribution for two doses of a Becloforte metered-dose inhaler (MDI) was measured by use of a twin-stage impinger (TSI), the new multi-stage (five-stage) liquid impinger (MSLI) and the Andersen cascade impactor (ACI) (n = 5 for each apparatus). The mean (s.d.
