Becoride Inhaler

Becoride Inhaler is a beclomethasone inhalation medicine used for long-term control of asthma symptoms. Each bottle contains beclomethasone in the labeled strength, and this product comes as an inhaler in a strip/box of 10 bottles from GSK, India. Beclomethasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that helps reduce airway inflammation and swelling so breathing stays easier over time. It is not a rescue inhaler for sudden asthma attacks.

How it works: Beclomethasone works by calming inflammation inside the airways, which helps reduce swelling, mucus, and irritation. In inhaler form, it delivers the medicine directly into the lungs so it can work where asthma symptoms start.

Because Becoride Inhaler is supplied as labeled, the exact amount in each bottle is the strength your doctor has selected for your asthma control plan. If this labeled strength is higher than a lower-strength beclomethasone inhaler, it is usually chosen for people who need stronger anti-inflammatory control, not for quick relief. Some people may notice fewer flare-ups over days to weeks rather than an immediate “opening” feeling after each use.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Reducing airway inflammation
• Helping prevent wheezing and shortness of breath
• Lowering the chance of asthma flare-ups
• Controller therapy, not rescue treatment

• Use Becoride Inhaler exactly as prescribed, and do not use it to treat a sudden asthma attack.
• Follow the inhaler instructions carefully so the medicine reaches your lungs properly; a wrong technique can reduce the dose you receive.
• If your prescriber told you to use it regularly, take it at the same times each day.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use to help lower the risk of oral thrush.
• Do not stop Becoride Inhaler suddenly unless your doctor tells you to, especially if you have been using it regularly.
• If you also use a quick-relief inhaler, keep using that rescue medicine for sudden symptoms unless your doctor changes the plan.

Becoride Inhaler delivers beclomethasone in the exact labeled strength per bottle, and the total daily dose depends on how many inhalations your doctor prescribes. It may be used once or twice daily depending on the severity of asthma and the specific treatment plan, but the maximum daily amount is set by your prescriber and should not be exceeded. This is a controller medicine, so the right dose is individualized and is not the same for every patient.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Beclomethasone may include:

• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Sore throat
• Cough after inhalation
• Oral thrush (more likely if the mouth is not rinsed after use)
• Headache
• Unpleasant taste or throat irritation

• Use caution if you have had oral thrush, frequent infections, or a weakened immune system.
• Becoride Inhaler is not for sudden asthma attacks; keep a rescue inhaler available if prescribed.
• If you are switching from oral steroids, your doctor may taper treatment carefully rather than stopping abruptly.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or other eye problems, since inhaled steroids can contribute to these risks over time.
• Let your clinician know if your asthma gets worse, because you may need a different controller dose or add-on treatment.
• Use extra care in children and adolescents because long-term steroid exposure can affect growth and should be monitored.
• Check with your doctor before pregnancy or breastfeeding use so the benefit-risk balance can be reviewed.

• Other corticosteroids, including oral, inhaled, nasal, or topical steroid medicines
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir or ketoconazole, which can raise steroid exposure
• Live vaccines or immune-suppressing medicines, depending on your treatment plan
• Other asthma medicines may still be needed, but only use them together as directed by your doctor
