Uses of Beeko Plus 0.8/1.6mg Respules

Beeko Plus 0.8/1.6mg Respules inhalers are used regularly to prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and breathlessness, and to reduce the risk of asthma attacks. They are known as ‘preventer’ inhalers and work gradually, so they do not relieve sudden symptoms; a reliever inhaler such as salbutamol is needed for that. Some combination inhalers containing beclometasone are also used in COPD.

How Beeko Plus 0.8/1.6mg Respules works

Beclometasone (beclomethasone) is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the lining of the airways. Over time this makes the airways less sensitive and less likely to narrow in response to triggers such as allergens, cold air or infections. Because it is inhaled, it acts directly in the lungs with much less reaching the rest of the body.

How to use

Use Beeko Plus 0.8/1.6mg Respules exactly as directed on the pack or by your doctor or pharmacist. This product should be used under medical supervision.

Precautions and warnings

• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use, or use a spacer, to reduce the risk of hoarseness and oral thrush.
• Keep using Beeko Plus 0.8/1.6mg Respules regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop suddenly without advice. Ask your pharmacist or doctor to check your inhaler technique.
• Different brands of beclometasone inhaler are not always equivalent in strength, so do not switch brands unless your doctor advises.
