Indication Dosage

Beclomethasone and Salbutamol are two medications that are often used together to manage asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid medication that is used to reduce inflammation in the airways. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body that can cause swelling, redness, and pain. Beclomethasone is often used as a long-term treatment for asthma, and it is typically administered via an inhaler.

Salbutamol is a bronchodilator medication that is used to open up the airways in the lungs. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles that line the airways, making it easier to breathe. Salbutamol is often used as a short-term treatment for asthma, and it is typically administered via an inhaler.

When used together, beclomethasone and salbutamol can help to reduce inflammation in the airways and improve breathing function. This combination is often prescribed to individuals with moderate to severe asthma or other respiratory conditions. However, the use of these medications should always be supervised by a healthcare professional, as they can cause side effects and interact with other medications.
