How Aerovent Products work

Salbutamol + Beclometasone is a combination of two medicines: Salbutamol + Beclometasone1 and Salbutamol + Beclometasone2. Salbutamol + Beclometasone1 is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Salbutamol + Beclometasone2 is a steroid. It acts by stopping the release of certain natural substances in body that are responsible for inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.

This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed.
Take it at the same time everyday to maintain consistent level of medicine in your body.

Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using.
Your doctor may regularly monitor your blood potassium levels as low oxygen levels in the blood (hypoxia) and medicines such as Aerovent can lower potassium levels in blood.
Only very small amounts of Aerovent may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects are unlikely.
Do not stop taking Aerovent suddenly even if you don’t currently have any symptoms as that may cause your breathing problems to come back.
