A member asked:

Is beclometasone in same family as fludrocortisone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sort of: Beclomethasone is an inhaled corticosteroid while Fludrocortisone is used for different reasons. It replaces another hormone, aldosterone. While this are both cortisones they are used for entirely different purposes.I.
