Description
Qvar Inhaler is a preventer inhaler prescribed for the long-term management of asthma. It contains beclometasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the lungs, allowing for easier breathing and fewer asthma symptoms. Qvar is used regularly to control and prevent asthma attacks, particularly in individuals with persistent symptoms.
Unlike reliever inhalers, Qvar is not used to treat immediate symptoms but is a key component of daily asthma control. Its extra-fine formulation allows the medication to penetrate deeply into the lungs for improved efficacy at lower doses.
How It Works
Beclometasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation in the airway lining. Asthma symptoms are triggered by inflammation, which narrows the airways and makes breathing difficult. By reducing the immune response, Qvar helps keep the airways open and responsive.
When used consistently, Qvar decreases the likelihood of asthma attacks and can reduce the need for reliever inhalers. Results may become noticeable within a few days, but full benefit typically requires regular use for several weeks.
Why Choose Qvar Inhaler
Qvar Inhaler offers a proven and effective treatment for asthma prevention. It’s often prescribed when symptoms are not well controlled with a lower-dose steroid inhaler. The inhaler is available in various strengths and device formats, including standard and Autohaler versions, to suit different user needs.
Its extra-fine particle formula allows for better deposition in the lungs compared to traditional inhalers, improving asthma control at lower steroid doses. This makes Qvar a preferred option for many prescribers aiming to balance effectiveness with reduced side effects.
Important Note
Qvar should be used every day, even when symptoms are not present. It is not suitable for treating sudden asthma attacks. Rinse your mouth with water after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush. Do not exceed your prescribed dose. Store below 25°C and out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
