Medical Description

Aerocort metered-dose inhaler is a combination medication containing beclomethasone and levosalbutamol. Beclomethasone belongs to a class of medicines known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation in the airways. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that helps relax and widen the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier.

Before using the Aerocort Inhaler, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any lung infections, liver problems, kidney problems, or heart problems. Additionally, you should also let your doctor know if you have diabetes, hypertension, fits, thyroid problems, or if you are currently or have recently taken any other steroid medication as a precaution. It is crucial to keep your doctor informed of any health conditions or medications you are taking to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Aerocort metered-dose inhaler should be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women only if it is considered necessary by the physician. The most common side effects of Aerocort metered-dose inhaler are headache, cold, thrush or oral sores, throat irritation, hoarse voice, dizziness and fast heart rate.

Directions for Use

Aerocort metered-dose inhaler is meant for inhalation use only. Prime the device by releasing 2-3 puffs in the air before use. Place the mouthpiece between your teeth, close your mouth tightly, and breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth while pressing the canister to release the medicine. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds or as comfortably after each inhalation. Wait approximately 30 seconds between each puff. After inhalation, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out or brush your teeth. Ensure you understand the proper usage by consulting your doctor or healthcare provider before starting. Adhering to these instructions will optimize the Aerocort metered-dose inhaler's effectiveness in managing your respiratory condition.

Missed a Dose

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Aerocort metered-dose inhaler works by the combined action of both ingredients. Beclomethasone acts by suppressing the inflammation in the airways, thereby reducing swelling and mucus production. This helps in improving airflow and easing breathing. Levosalbutamol, on the other hand, works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchial tubes, leading to bronchodilation, which aids in the relief of bronchoconstriction.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Aerocort metered-dose inhaler may interact with other medications, especially other bronchodilators or corticosteroids.
  • It is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements.
