Asthma control often requires more than just quick-relief bronchodilators; long-term management depends on anti-inflammatory medications that reduce airway swelling. The Beclate Inhaler contains beclomethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that targets inflammation in the lungs. By reducing swelling and mucus production, beclomethasone helps prevent asthma attacks and improves breathing over time.
Unlike rescue inhalers, which provide immediate relief during an asthma attack, the Beclate Inhaler is used regularly as a preventive medication. Each inhalation delivers a measured dose of steroid that works locally in the airways to reduce inflammation. When used consistently, it can decrease the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms, allowing patients to rely less on short-acting bronchodilators. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and to use the inhaler every day, even when you feel well. Consistency helps maintain control of asthma symptoms.
To use the Beclate Inhaler, shake the device, breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press down on the canister while inhaling deeply. Hold your breath for a few seconds to allow the medication to settle in your lungs, then breathe out slowly. Rinse your mouth with water after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush (fungal infection) and hoarseness. Common side effects may include a hoarse voice, sore throat, or minor mouth infections, particularly if you do not rinse after inhalation. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions or adrenal suppression with long-term high-dose use.
While using any inhaled corticosteroid, discuss with your healthcare provider whether you need a spacer device for better delivery, and ensure you know how to clean and maintain your inhaler. Do not stop using the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can worsen asthma control. With regular use and proper technique, the Beclate Inhaler can be an effective part of your asthma management plan.
