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 and Levosalbutamol. Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Beclomethasone works by preventing the release of certain chemicals that trigger inflammatory reactions. Thereby, Aerocort Inhaler makes breathing easier.

In some cases, Aerocort Inhaler may cause side effects such as thrush, hoarseness of voice and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve 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. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and any medications you are taking to rule out potential interactions.
