How Bekform Products work
Beclometasone + Formoterol is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone + Formoterol1 and Beclometasone + Formoterol2. Beclometasone + Formoterol1 is a steroid. It gets absorbed into the cells of the inner surface of the nose and works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) and allergies. This relieves blocked or runny nose, sneezing and sinus discomfort. Beclometasone + Formoterol2 is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
