Abstract;In 34 asthmatic patients who changed their inhalant from chlorofluorocarbon-beclometasone dipropionate (CFC-BDP) or fluticasone propionate (FP) Rotadisk to hydrofluoroalkane-BDP (HFA-BDP), the effect of inhalation guidance and learning effect were evaluated.The average age of patients was 74.2.+-.7.1-year-old. Since they were old generations, the time to master the new technique was tended to be longer. However, the mastery rate was improved by the continuous guidance. In the investigation of subjective symptom by questionnaire, 59% of patient answered to be improved by HFA-BDP, and the deterioration by HFA-BDP could not be recognized. In the meantime, the significant improvement on the peak flow rate could not be accepted.
