Beclate 200 Rotacaps

Drug | Capsule

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

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.

Hoarseness/voice change, throat irritation, cough, oral thrush (candidiasis), dry mouth, headache, unpleasant taste

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.

Strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, cobicistat, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin) may increase systemic corticosteroid effects; other corticosteroids (additive effects); caution with vaccines/immunosuppressants due to infection risk

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep rotacaps in original strip until use.
