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.

Product Description:

Beclomethasone dipropionate is an inhaled corticosteroid and was the first to enter widespread clinical use, establishing the treatment principle that asthma is fundamentally an inflammatory disease requiring regular preventive therapy rather than symptomatic relief alone. It reduces airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness over days to weeks of continuous use, and has no role in acute bronchospasm — a distinction that must be clear in patient information.

Modern extrafine formulations produce a smaller particle size than the original preparations, achieving greater deposition in the small airways and permitting a lower nominal dose for equivalent effect. Presentations include pressurised metered-dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and, in some markets, capsules for use with a breath-actuated device.

Sourcing notes. Nominal dose is not comparable across formulations. An extrafine beclomethasone product is not interchangeable milligram-for-milligram with a conventional one, and tender specifications that state only a microgram strength without identifying the formulation are ambiguous. Establish which is required. Manufacture demands inhalation product capability with aerodynamic particle size distribution testing as part of routine release, which is a narrower approval than general oral solids. Where the listing is a capsule for inhalation, confirm the device it is intended for, since capsules and devices are not universally compatible.
