Overview
Drug | Capsule
Uses & Benefits
Maintenance (preventer) treatment of bronchial asthma, Maintenance therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where inhaled corticosteroid is indicated, Prevention of asthma symptoms such as wheeze, breathlessness and chest tightness
How It Works
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.
Directions for Use
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.
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.
