Hard to predict: Beclometasone is different from Fludrocortisone because the latter is mineralocorticoid with glucocorticoid, which means Fludrocortisone also helps regulate salt intake ; decretion. Beclometasone controls the rate of protein synthesis and prevent inflammation. Hard to predict its anaphylaxis from beclometasone.
