BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL is a combination medicine used to treat asthma. Asthma is a respiratory condition caused by hypersensitive airways, which become inflamed, swollen and filled with mucous, making breathing difficult. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough.
BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL contains Beclomethasone Dipropionate (corticosteroids) and Levosalbutamol (bronchodilators). Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Beclomethasone Dipropionate works by preventing the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thus, BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL makes breathing easier.
Use BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL as prescribed. In some cases, BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL may cause certain common side effects such as thrush, hoarseness of voice and headache. These side effects do not require acute medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you should talk to your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL. BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL is not recommended for use in children below four years. Avoid consumption of alcohol while using BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL as there may be an interaction. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition, medical history, and ongoing medications to rule out any interactions.
Asthma
BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL is a combination of respiratory medicine containing Beclomethasone Dipropionate and Levosalbutamol. It is used primarily to treat asthma. Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a steroid that works by inhibiting and suppressing inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells. Levosalbutamol is a short-acting beta-agonist, which stimulates the airways' smooth muscle cells to relax, easing the free flow of air. Thus, BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+LEVOSALBUTAMOL is a potent antidote for asthma breathing problems and treating the inflammation and swelling that constitutes asthma.
