Aerocort Inhaler (Beclomethasone Dipropionate/Levosalbutamol) - 50mcg/50mcg (1 Inhaler)

Uses
Aerocort Inhaler (Beclomethasone Dipropionate/Levosalbutamol) is used to treat asthma. This inhaler is not a rapid relief inhaler, but is used as part of an ongoing treatment to help prevent or reduce the occurrence of asthma attacks. It combines two active ingredients into one product. Levosalbutamol is known as a bronchodilator, and it works by widening the airways, thereby making it easier for the patient to breathe. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a type of steroid, which works by preventing inflammation of the airways. When combined, these two ingredients may help to reduce asthma attacks.
