How Beclomethasone + Salbutamol works

Beclomethasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces swelling and inflammation inside the airways over time, making them less sensitive. Salbutamol is a fast-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, opening them up within minutes.

What is Beclomethasone + Salbutamol used for?

Beclomethasone + Salbutamol inhalers are used to control asthma in people who need both a preventer and a reliever. Regular use helps reduce airway inflammation and keeps wheezing, coughing and breathlessness under control. It is used according to a plan from your doctor and is not a substitute for emergency treatment during a severe attack.

Side effects of Beclomethasone + Salbutamol

Most people use Beclomethasone + Salbutamol without serious problems. The more common side effects include:

  • Shakiness or tremor
  • Fast heartbeat
  • Headache
  • Hoarse voice

Seek urgent help if your breathing gets worse straight after using the inhaler, if your inhaler does not help, or if you have chest pain or a very fast heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

  • Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to reduce the risk of thrush and hoarseness.
  • Use it regularly as prescribed, and see your doctor if you need extra reliever more often than usual.
  • Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, an overactive thyroid, diabetes or tuberculosis.
  • Children using inhaled steroids long term may have their growth checked.
