Beclometasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways. It decreases airway hyper‑responsiveness and mucus production, helping prevent asthma/COPD symptoms with regular use. It is not meant for immediate relief of acute bronchospasm.
Use only with a compatible rotahaler/rotacap inhaler device as prescribed. Inhale the powder from the rotacap; do not swallow the capsule. Use regularly at the same times each day; rinse/gargle mouth with water after each use to reduce oral thrush. Can be used with or without food; follow doctor’s dose and technique instructions.
Common side effects of Beclate 200 Rotacaps may include:
Not for acute asthma attack—use a reliever (e.g., salbutamol) for sudden symptoms. Rinse mouth after inhalation to prevent fungal infection. Use with caution in active/latent tuberculosis, untreated infections, and in patients with glaucoma or cataract risk. Long-term/high-dose use may cause adrenal suppression, reduced bone mineral density, growth retardation in children, or easy bruising—use the lowest effective dose. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice.
