How Beclomethasone Dipropionate Works

Qvar Inhaler contains beclomethasone dipropionate, which is used to prevent and control symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. It belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids that can help to ease your breathing problems by relieving swelling and irritation in the small air passages in the lungs. 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. Each puff of aerosol from the can contains 50 or 100 micrograms of beclomethasone dipropionate. Qvar Inhaler is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age.
