Uses: beclomethasone is used to prevent and control symptoms (Wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing the swelling of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. This medication must be used regularly to prevent breathing problems (Attacks of wheezing/Shortness of breath). It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve an asthma attack. If an attack occurs, use your quick-Relief inhaler as prescribed.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not use a spacer device with this medication. You do not need to prime or shake this inhaler before use. If your prescribed dose is 2 puffs, wait at least one minute between them. If you are using other inhalers at the same time, wait at least 1 minute between the use of each medication, and use this drug (The corticosteroid) last. To prevent dry mouth, hoarseness, and oral yeast viral & infections from developing, gargle and rinse your mouth with water after each use. Do not swallow the rinse water. Keep track of the number of inhalations used. Discard the canister after using the labeled number of inhalations on the package, even if it feels as though there is medication left in the canister.

To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. This medication works best if used at evenly spaced times. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. Learn which of your inhalers you should use every day (Controller drugs) and which you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens (Quick-Relief drugs). Ask your doctor ahead of time what you should do if you have new or worsening cough or shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, worsening peak flow meter readings, waking up at night with trouble breathing, if you use your quick-Relief inhaler more often (More than 2 days a week), or if your quick-Relief inhaler does not seem to be working well. Learn when you can treat sudden breathing problems by yourself and when you must get medical help right away. If you are regularly taking a different corticosteroid by mouth (Such as prednisone), you should not stop taking it unless directed by your doctor. Some conditions (Such as asthma, allergies) may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. If you suddenly stop taking the drug, you may also have withdrawal symptoms (Such as weakness, weight loss, nausea, muscle pain, headache, tiredness, dizziness). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may slowly lower the dose of your old medication after you begin using beclomethasone. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal. See also precautions section. You may start to feel this medication working within 24 hours, but it may take several weeks or longer to get the full benefit. Tell your doctor if you do not get better or if you get worse.
