Aerocort Inhaler
Aerocort Inhaler is a combination medicine containing Beclomethasone and Levosalbutamol, used for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and breathing difficulties. It helps relieve wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing by reducing airway inflammation and relaxing the respiratory muscles.
About Aerocort Inhaler
Aerocort Inhaler is 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.
Aerocort Inhaler contains Beclomethasone (corticosteroids) and Levosalbutamol (bronchodilators). Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Beclomethasone works by preventing the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, Aerocort Inhaler makes breathing easier.
Use Aerocort Inhaler as prescribed. In some cases, Aerocort Inhaler may cause specific common side effects such as thrush, hoarseness of voice and headache. Most of these side effects do not require immediate medical attention and will typically resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. Aerocort Inhaler is not recommended for children below 4 years. Consult your doctor before taking alcohol with Aerocort Inhaler as there may be an interaction. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and any medications you are taking to rule out potential interactions.

Medicinal Benefits
Aerocort Inhaler is a combination of respiratory medicine containing Beclomethasone and Levosalbutamol. It is used primarily to treat asthma. Beclomethasone is a steroid that works by inhibiting and suppressing inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells. Levosalbutamol is a short-acting beta-agonist, which stimulates the smooth muscle cells of the airways to relax, thereby easing the free flow of air. Thus, Aerocort Inhaler is a potent antidote for breathing problems related to asthma, as well as for treating the inflammation and swelling that constitute asthma.
