How It Works

Important ingredients of the Aerocort Inhaler:

1. Beclomethasone: A corticosteroid that prevents or reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, restoring airway function and protecting them from long-term damage.
2. Levosalbutamol: A bronchodilator; it works by relaxing airway muscles and then slowly opens the air passages to help give immediate relief from breathlessness.

This dual action ensures immediate and sustained relief as well as better flexibility in the patient’s recovery process.

Conclusion

This is an effective treatment for asthma and COPD. By dual action, this inhaler does provide short-term relief from breathing problems and long-term inflammation reduction. Hence, proper use and regular consultations with a doctor can improve respiratory function and health significantly.
