Aerocort Rotacap

Description

Aerocort Rotacap is an inhalation medication for managing asthma, helping to relieve symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, facilitating easier breathing. This medication is designed for regular use to maintain effective control over asthma symptoms. It is not intended for sudden asthma attacks, for which a quick-relief inhaler should be used.

Salt Composition
Levosalbutamol (100mcg), Beclometasone (100mcg)

How to Use
Aerocort Rotacaps should not be swallowed. Follow the instructions on the label carefully. Place the capsule at the base of the rotahaler, not in the mouthpiece. Fully twist the mouthpiece until you hear a click, then inhale deeply through it. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds. If any powder remains, repeat the steps. Proper inhalation technique is crucial for the medication’s effectiveness.

Uses/Benefits
Aerocort Rotacap is beneficial in the treatment of asthma, a condition where airways become narrowed, making breathing difficult. The medication helps in opening up the airways, reducing symptoms like chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Consistent usage can improve long-term asthma management, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and yoga.

Side Effects
Common side effects include hoarseness, headache, dizziness, sore throat, vomiting, bronchitis, dry mouth, cough, nausea, oral thrush, throat irritation, gastrointestinal discomfort, upper respiratory infection, and fever. These side effects often subside as the body adjusts. Consult a healthcare provider if they persist or cause concern.
