Aerocort Rotacaps: Everything You Should Know

Aerocort Rotacaps are prescription capsules that contain a powdered mixture of two active ingredients: levosalbutamol sulphate and beclometasone dipropionate. These capsules are meant to be used with a Rotahaler, a dry powder inhaler that directly delivers the medicine into your lungs. Usually comprising thirty rotacaps with a standard strength of 200 mcg, each pack is produced by Cipla Limited.

For both preventing and treating breathing problems brought on by COPD and asthma, this combination of medication therapy works well. Most usually recommended as part of a long-term therapy plan, it helps patients breathe more comfortably, lowers inflammation, and improves airflow.

How Does Aerocort Rotacaps Work?

Aerocort Rotacaps’ two main components, combined dual action, help to explain their effectiveness:

• Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways. It works over time to decrease the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms.
• Levosalbutamol is a fast-acting bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe during periods of wheezing, tightness, or shortness of breath.

When used together through inhalation, these compounds provide both short-term relief and long-term control for chronic respiratory conditions.

Uses of Aerocort Rotacaps

Usually used for treatment and management are Aerocort Rotacaps:

• Asthma (mild to moderate)
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Bronchospasm (tightening of airway muscles)
• Wheezing and shortness of breath
• Exercise-induced breathing difficulties

These rotacaps are meant for regular usage to keep better breathing and lower flare-ups; they are not a rescue medicine for sudden asthma attacks.

Side Effects of Aerocort Rotacaps

Aerocort Rotacaps could have negative effects in some people, same like medications. Typical side effects include:

• Throat irritation or dryness
• Cough after inhalation
• Hoarseness of voice
• Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth)

Always use the Rotahaler according to instructions and rinse your mouth with water following each use to reduce risks. See a doctor right away if symptoms get worse or if major complications like allergic reactions or chest trouble strike.
