Beclometasone diproprionate (Clipper) is an additional option after an oral aminosalicylate in mild to moderate left sided or extensive ulcerative colitis (as per NICE CG for ulcerative colitis). It may be considered for patients in whom the use of prednisolone would best be avoided. GPs need to be aware of the 4 week course and the dosing of 5mg daily for Beclometasone diproprionate and may wish to consider seeking advice from the IBD team when prescribing this steroid.
