Beclometasone Inhaler

Daily prevention of asthma symptoms and attacks. Not for acute relief - that’s what your blue inhaler is for.

Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that works directly in the airways. It suppresses the inflammatory cells and chemicals that make your airways swollen, twitchy and sensitive. With regular use, your airways calm down, you need your reliever inhaler less, and your risk of attacks drops significantly.

Anyone with asthma who needs more than occasional reliever use. Different brands have different particle sizes (Clenil vs Qvar), so they’re not interchangeable - always use the same brand. Safe in pregnancy.

Order online and we review your request. A prescriber checks your consultation form for clinical appropriateness and contacts you if anything else is needed. Once approved, your medication is dispensed and delivered to your door.

Beclometasone Inhaler from £54.99 per inhaler.

SABA (salbutamol): tremor, headache, palpitations, muscle cramps. ICS (beclometasone, fluticasone, budesonide): oral thrush (candidiasis), hoarseness - rinse mouth after each use. LABA (formoterol, salmeterol): tremor, palpitations, headache. High-dose ICS: bruising, adrenal suppression.

LABA: must not be used without an ICS in asthma (monotherapy increases risk of asthma death). Tiotropium: hypersensitivity to atropine derivatives.

Beta-blockers: may reduce effectiveness of salbutamol and other beta-agonists - avoid non-selective beta-blockers in asthma. Potassium-depleting diuretics: increased risk of hypokalaemia with high-dose beta-agonists.

Salbutamol and ICS: can be used in pregnancy - uncontrolled asthma is more dangerous than the medications. Do not stop preventer inhalers during pregnancy. Compatible with breastfeeding.

Use every day, even when you feel well. Rinse your mouth and spit after each use to prevent oral thrush and hoarseness. Clenil and Qvar are different - don’t switch brands without medical advice. It takes days to weeks to reach full effect. Using a spacer improves delivery and reduces side effects.
