R03BA01 • beclomethasone • Respiratory system | Other drugs for obstructive airway diseases, inhalants | Glucocorticoids
Beclometasone is a corticosteroid primarily used to treat inflammatory conditions of the airways, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. It works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways, thereby improving airflow and alleviating associated symptoms.
Beclometasone is available as an inhaler, nasal spray, or ointment, depending on the therapeutic indication. For asthma, it is used as a maintenance therapy, administered daily to prevent exacerbations.
Common side effects include throat irritation, hoarseness, and oral candidiasis. To reduce the risk of candidiasis, patients are advised to rinse their mouth after using the inhaler. In rare cases, systemic side effects such as adrenal suppression or osteoporosis may occur, especially at high doses and with long-term use.
Beclometasone is an essential medication in managing chronic respiratory diseases, contributing to improved quality of life for patients.
