Beclomethasone Dipropionate And Levosalbutamol Inhaler (Aerocort)

How It Works

Aerocort inhaler contains two active ingredients: beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, thereby reducing swelling and irritation in the airways. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.
